ENGLISHNESS................................... DISTRACTION by the looks of it!

ENGLISHNESS? No such thing!

If you were really to define it in one word since the Romans it would be ...HOOLIGANISM!

All great nations wouldn't have got anywhere without it!

:P

Englishness?

Island mentality, territorial; get a tiny back garden and first thing we do is slap up a 6' fence around it. This is my land and your not coming in.

And a unique view of forgetting what a mixed race of people we are and claiming that others can't join the party as thre as been some sort of un-written cut off date. Oh and with the Germanic Saxe-Coburgs as our Royal family.

Ian...!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
So funny...What about the "Keep our pound" campaign?
The one that originates as the Roman "Libre pounde"...

I'd say Englishness is getting your shirt off at the merest hint of sunshine, even if it is still only 20 Deg. C. !! And then of course burning yourself to a crisp (although that can also be easily done on Corfu, Minorca, Rhodes etc etc). :cool:

Guys n Gals - love the latter postings - but if you want a real take on the subject and a sarcastic smile throw in, then go on - read the book I mentioned in my earlier post. You will really enjoy it, and afterwards you will be forever looking in the mirror wondering "am I really like that"
