Erm..

erm......

It'd be easier to list what I didn't love: chavs and the size.

[Stu]

The best Comedy institutions in the world. The kickass authors and music. The name 'Nigel'.

[Lee.]

Scotland..

[InOne]

Proper British pubs.

British music.

Our great countryside

I bet Scotish/Welsh/Irish people aren't even patriotic, it's just the idea that they're mentioned in relation to England which makes them go Apesh!t OTT with patriotism

Don't be stupid. Speaking for myself I'm not patriotic but that was just an idiotic comment. Plenty of Scottish, Welsh and Irish people are very patriotic. To claim it's all some sort of stage show put on to show up the English is riddiculous and highly insulting to a large proportion of people. The English are allowed be patriotic but when others do it it's for show?

I can assure you I am patriotic! And where exactly is this OTT patriotism that you speak of??

[Stu]

-.-

I'll bet any amount of money that you meant a bit of it. Not that you will admit to it. In fact to be fair the more I think about it you probably have a point in a few cases.

You did not use any smileys and it was not exactly coming from a known master in the art of edgy, sarcastic posts. I cannot read minds :wink:.

It's a new years resolution.

It was aimed directly at me.. that is all.

[Kerry]

The diverse weather and perfect (almost) range of the seasons
The countryside
The coast
Sheffield
The football
The music
The safety (yes, honestly)
The wildlife
The friendliness of the North
General pride

The Scots, Welsh and Irish are extremely patriotic and I admire them for it, but I have to disagree with your statement that the English are allowed to be patriotic. Apparently it's wonderful and admirable for anyone to love their country, but not if you're English because then you must be a racist.:rolleyes:

[Kerry]

Food. I forgot our food.

Only on the rare occasions... I had about 6 Flags outside each of my house windows when the world cup was on and other people did as well.... bar in mind their is a Mosque a minute walk down the road from me.. their is not much they can do.. they have to deal with it.. some people are just using that as an excuse not to be patriotic..

[Lee.]

Our lack of war, famine, drought, earthquakes, hurricanes etc.

I suppose we're very lucky!

I'm shedding a tear. You can still openly celebrate being English. It's only an ironically intolerant, overly PC minority who wish to stop you. The Daily Heil likes to take this minority group and embellish them into a monster that wants to ROB YOUR CIVIL LIBERTIES ~~~.

Celebrate your culture and country all you want. Most people fully respect and accept that. Stop making out as if it's a general rule of life that the poor English are not allowed to be patriotic.

Yes,so do I, but I don't reserve my flag flying to football matches and St George's Day, I fly mine 365 days a year from my balcony and if people don't like it, TOUGH. Depends which council you live under - some have banned them altogether in case they offend other nationalities:rolleyes:

[Shaun]

its bumbling contradictions.
its musical history.
its general tolerance.
its sense of humour - well, the dry, sarcastic, ironic stuff.
festivals. Not that I've been to one...
some of its TV/movies.

[lostalex]

I like all the burgers and CD's you buy, i Like all the movie tickets and military hardware you buy.

I like all the Billions of dollars Brits send into our pockets from the other side of the atlantic.

OH YEA, AND YOU GUYS HAVE GOOD MUSICIANS, YEA THEY TOTALLY COPIED OUR STYLES OF MUSIC, BUT YOU DO IT WELL, SO YU ARE FORGIVEN.

Britain makes great music, far better than the SHIIIITE that mainland europe puts out.

Britain has good music, no one can take that away.

There's plenty of things about britain to dislike, but music certainly aint one. You guys do it right. You get it.

[Angus]

Our history; traditions; the monarchy; pomp & ceremony; architecture; our diverse countryside; thatched cottages; fish & chips; seaside towns; the Beatles; unpredictable weather; Shakespeare; Dickens; NHS; our stiff upper lip; our innate sense of fair play.

I like more things about England rather than Britain as a whole.

Northern Ireland*

[Niamh.]

British TV and music

[Benjamin]

As much as I harp on about disliking UK I would say the following are our positives:

*Sense of humour
*Education
*Weather (yes it can be random, but at least we get variation)
*The language and its many dialects (we have so many for such a small country)
*Literature

[Patrick]

It's better craic than the USA.

Everyone's abit more, not laid back, that would apply to Ireland more but everyone seems to just have abit more fun.

We have the best comedians.

Our Big Brother, Sh*ts all over the other versions.

We've got Pixie Lott.

Alot really, I use to despise England though because of where I was brought up until a few years back on Holiday when I met some people from England, then I came on here and met other people from England and realised everything people have said didn't apply for all of England.

Well more than one English one then :p We have Tesco and SuperValue here.

[Stu]

I'm sure the English tourism board are counting the money they are going to make off JJJ being a marketable attraction to their great nation.

Shurrup :p It's just my friends have met them loads and I never can cos I don't live there.

Oh yeah we have Lidl too,I forgot about that! But yeah I meant like we don't have Sainsburys,Asda,Morrisons,The Co-Op,Waitrose and so on.

[Niamh.]

Sounds like stalking to me. Stalking nobodies no less!

Oh and Tesco completely owns the crap out of Dunnes for the record. In every possible way. The 24 hour a day service and automated machines saving you the trial of dealing with real humans makes it perfect fodder for stumbling in to get some grub when your off yer trolley in the wee hours.

[Princess]

and................

:laugh: I'm moving once I finish uni and save up enough.

[Kerry]

Is Dunnes a supermarket there? It went bust when I was a kid as a clothes shop here. Same slogan though

It's not stalking,they go to organized signings,PAs and what not.

We don't have 24 hour Tesco where I live. And the automated machines on never on late either.

I want to live in London,I always wish I could stay whenever I go. I know I'm not staying here anyways,whether I end up staying in London,well hopefully but you never know.

[Niamh.]

It's great when you're single and that but I wouldn't fancy bringing kids up there

[Kerry]

well, I grew up in the city but I love being out of it now

I'd love a retreat to get away from the city I have to admit. Not totally but you know for the odd weekend and stuff? Just to the countryside or coast :love: Heh I want it all :blush:

Ha, I remember that. People where my mother in law lives were being told they werent allowed to put flags up or anything. So some guy covered his whole house in them, I mean literally the whole house. Was quite funny. He did get made to take them down though, but it was good at the time.

I was petty...Im ashamed to admit, and put one up only because we werent meant to :laugh: Any other time I dont even put them up.

[MojoNixon]

I don't live there, but i love older British music, movies and TV series. Close to my heart!
My #1 country when it comes to culture, and US comes second. I ain't typical "liberal wannabe" European.

[Jessica.]

Fizzy Vimto.

[Jords]

The fact a lot of people wish they could come here (more often), is what I love about it, that it has that 'pull' and it makes you feel like yeah, Im from Britain /socool

Music + comedy like others have mentioned too.
