There is a lot to complain about in this country that's for sure, but I do feel compared to a lot of the rest of the world we have it good here and for that I feel fortunate and proud also.

I also feel like even though the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish like to pretend they don't like us English, they love us really!!

Spoken like a true Brit. We're always seen as thinking the Americans are strange for being so patriotic.

Does the stereotypical British man carry a flag?

I thought it was a top hat, umbrella and said things like "Old chap".

A bit. I'd rather live here than anywhere else, our country has many great institutions - the BBC, the NHS, the Royals. I'm glad to live here and not somewhere like North Korea and in that sense I'm proud to be British. Scotland want independence though so how long will the UK last? I think even though we are unified every country has rivalry for example the Welsh,Scottish and NI hate the English and we hate all of them.. In a nice way. Will be funny to see Scotland on their arse once they get independence.

Well I wouldn't want to live anywhere else, although I take more pride in my local area than I do the country as a whole
