What have we left that truely celebrates our purely British culture so that we can show the world what Great Britain was about once upon a time before all the purely British customs, culture & values were not allowed or fought for any more? When Australia opened their games, there was hats with corks, flip-flops & surf boards etc. Yes - we have sausages & Morris dancers but what else? This is NOT a racist question, just a reflection on the state of the country.

There will be two old ladies sitting by a small table with a proper table cloth, scones and a teapot.they will be discussing the weather (which WILL be dismal). They will be happy-slapped by two hooded youths (one with a video mobile, of course) who will swear at the audience. They will be arrested, and immediately issused an ASBO, which they will boast about. lots.
The End.

4)The Beatles
5)Fish and chips
6)Nice Pubs
7)Great fashion
8)London Cabs

12)Fox hunting, polo, rugby, football which americans call soccer, and of course David Beckham
13)The connection to America

I imagine we will be too scared to, and will probably go for a 'multicultural' celebration. Which is fine, but we really do deny ourselves a bloody identity!

A gang of chavs brandishing kebabs, queued by the queen, will start the first riot. There will be no survivors.
