A must read:

http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/

Oh I'd say it is an obsession...As evidence of the ever abundant and earth shattering commentary that comes forth from our beloved Gazza. (oh and you other Brits are not excluded- Grin

)

There is a whole book with yearly updates devoted to the love of the "Bottom" and other such areas in close proximity. I happen to have been given this book. But I just can't bring myself to use this vocabulary. One must be born into it, I fear......

Most of the so-called "great things" about England are relics from yesteryear. Real ale, fish and chips, football, pubs etc.

Too many pubs don't sell real-ale, there aren't many British-owned chip shops anymore (at least, not where I live), we can't play football and too many of our 'proper' pubs are closing - being turned into trendy bars or flats.

The merry old England that many foreigners have in there head is, well, in their head. It doesn't exist anymore.

Oh, and Adrian. Our history is rich and glorious, but kids are not allowed to learn about it in school anymore.

You won't get any arguement from me, on that one Alex.

In many respects our country is going down the toilet, but i do still believe (..just)
that it's an incredible piece of good fortune, to be born British.

incidently, here's little old me, having a chat with a great English institution, this past saturday.

Signing copies of his new book, that accompanies a new BBC series, all about America.

How could I forget that England gave its first born son Keith Moon to the world and that those who believe in him shall not perish from the earth.
