No. That would be awfully crass and American. Deep inside every Englishman is the notion that his is a country of profound greatness. We do not need to shout it. And please let us not forget that moaning about England is almost as big a national institution as talking about the weather. It's just something we do. Only a fool would take our moaning to mean we don't love our country, just as only a fool would believe we actually give a toss about the weather.

Yes I agree with 'pamperredpuss'. I hope this Gordon Brown dude will make some positive changes. I didnt know about the 'black bin liner' thing though. Is that true??

YES YES YES YES YES YES.............About time too! This is one thing that the Americans do well.....PATRIOTISM!!! We have lost all sense of it and need to instil this into our children. This has always been a great nation and all evryone seems to do is moan about it....it's not the nation....it's some of the morons governing this nation! If each of us took some serious pride in this lovely country we could turn it around! So, YES YES YES...Great question, by the way!

Tell me something to be proud of and I will.
We are useless at sports.
Over crowding.
Pollution.
Terrorists
Drug addicts that are made into hero's.
Underage pregnancies
Selfishness
Greed
Ignorance
The rich and poor divide
Can't have Christmas Trees in shopping centres as it may offend foreigners.
Can't use the word Black i.e Black bin liners as it may offend someone.
Can't use the word Man i.e Man hole cover as it offends the feminists.
Shall I go on?

My friend, I agree with you totally...unfortunately, it seems that in today's pathetically politically correct world, the left wing militia would stamp on you for daring to utter such a phrase....don't want to upset or offend anyone, do we now.....?
As far as I'm concerned, I'm English first, British second....and I will NEVER be a European....

I'm not too proud... pretty ashamed really. I just want to go and live on my own island!
