Yep. You guys should follow the lead of Ireland and not get involved with that EU stuff. But I'm afraid even the RAF can't save you now. But a Cromwell could.... not a Blair... but a Cromwell.

Bill mentions English muffins in his book "Rolling With the Stones."
Says they were somewhere in America during the 60's and saw "English muffins" on the breakfast menu.
Says the muffins he was served were nothing like anything in England. really?

English chicks make good spinsters.

Ever wonder why rich Brits always marry forieners?

It ain't that Brit chicks aren't as pretty.....it's just that Brit chicks have become too bossy, If you want a boss just marry a Brit chick.

you deserve a 'triple Coleman' , for that.

The lovely accents...Smiley Everyone sounds so intelligent. I love to hear interviews with "the man on the street". Everyone has such good vocabularies.

The music.
The fashion.
The literature.
The art.
The theatre.

Well, all that was IT in the 60's. And it probably still is.....Smiley


Someday I will make it there. I've been wanting to go since 1964. Someday..................

England is a very sophisticated country with high standards, picturesque countryside, and the marvelous waterfront cities of Liverpool & London. Puntuality is a must, even the trains and busses are on schedule to the minute, the streets are clean, people are polite, and the best Rock & Roll music has originated there. The architecture is detailed and intricate, the gardens are impeccably maintained, history is rich and tradition is honored. The food is tasty and pubs are filled with interesting, sexy people!! If anyone has not been there, I say this: YOU GOTTA GO!!

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.

True.  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.

Oh still plenty of Pubs and plenty of fish and chips and meat pies of all sorts.

But when I was in merry old England, I was told Chicken Curry was "THE" English meal!! Wink

And there is always the breakfast (black pudding left behind, thank you very much)

I hear a gang fire on a human factory farm
Are they howling out or doing somebody harm
On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm
A voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm

This is england
This knife of sheffield steel
This is england
This is how we feel

Time on his hands freezing in those clothes
He won't go for the carrot
They beat him by the pole
Some sunny day confronted by his soul
He's out at sea, too far off, he can't go home

This is england
What we're supposed to die for
This is england
And we're never gonna cry no more

Black shadow of the vincent
Falls on a triumph line
I got my motorcycle jacket
But i'm walking all the time
South atlantic wind blows
Ice from a dying creed
I see no glory
When will we be free

This is england
We can chain you to the rail
This is england
We can kill you in a jail

The british boots go kick them
Got 'em in the head
Police ain't watchin'
The newspapers been read
Who cares to protest
A (???) in the eye like a flare
Out came the batons and
The british warned themselves

This is england
The land of (il)legal dances
This is england
Land of a thousand stances
This is england
This knife of sheffield steel
This is england
This is how we feel
This is england
This is england

Well I tried it and it was really good ~ they put vinegar on it as a condiment.

Everything in moderation. Fried foods are ok sometimes but not every day.

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.


That sounds how I feel about the country over here, weird is'nt it, the things that made you great are all for sale now and commercialized to the max.   Everyone at least it seems everyone wants to live in the country but no one wants to smell the pig manure..  Ouch!

That post is loaded. I just hope you all can retain some of the charm of your cultural identity to pass down to your kids. But then the commisars of the new europe probably won't permit it.

Well it was a loaded question, MM!

I personally, am English through and through and if were to ever have children, they'd be bought up in a very English environment.

We do live in a multi-cultural environment and whilst many have bought worthwhile qualities to this little island, I feel strongly that it’s about time serious restrictions were bought in. By that, I mean, serious, serious, vetting for suitability. IE, job and language skills etc.

I will never bow to any "new Europe" ethos.

I gotta stop coming into these discussions so late, sadly I do not have the time.

My two pennorth....

I fear for the future of our great country....most of the people I work with don't give a toss and thats not the way I was bought up, the majority of brit youths want to get rich quick or die trying somebody said to me recently and may be they are right.

Still we have a great history.

I agree though, most brit women are prudes, real ale is hard to find,  fish and chips is unhealthy, the weather is crap, our footballers believe we should win the world cup but never stay the course etc, etc, etc.

England is a very sophisticated country with high standards, picturesque countryside, and the marvelous waterfront cities of Liverpool & London. Puntuality is a must, even the trains and busses are on schedule to the minute, the streets are clean, people are polite, and the best Rock & Roll music has originated there. The architecture is detailed and intricate, the gardens are impeccably maintained, history is rich and tradition is honored. The food is tasty and pubs are filled with interesting, sexy people!! If anyone has not been there, I say this: YOU GOTTA GO!!


You have got to be kidding me???? Where in England did you encounter punctual trains and clean streets???? Shit, I'll move there tomorrow!
Are you maybe mixing it up with Switzerland???

What I really love about England are the well-educated/mannered people who quietly go on with their lives, the ones who live and let live.
What I hate most is the social strata of people who are "on the social" not out of genuine necessity/life's-a-bitchness, but as a life choice , deliberately , out of their own stupid selves.

I compared London to New York and New Jersey. Did you think MICK was kidding when he said They got rats on the west side, and bedbugs uptown? The population here is larger, more people, more dirt, more trash, more delays, and the bad ass additude to go with it. London is much more civilized, even the drunks on the busses and trains were polite! That's one thing different about Europe and The US ~ We cant drink in public unless its a licensed location ~ in England, they drink anywhere and everywhere!
