    What makes Britain great?

    * Our Monarchy "For Queen and Country" (Queenie - probably the only person in the world that can reduce G.W Bush (and any other world leader) to a quivering nervous wreck just by looking at him).

    * Tea and Buiscuits

    * Full English Brekky

    * Having 4 different "countries" inside us, each with their own unique culture, likes, dislikes but all brought together in unity under the banner of Her Magesty.

    * Our previous military conquests


    But to be honest i don't think GB is all that great no more. We ride on the last 500 years and we have not really done anything noteworthy in the last hundred (apart from the two world wars but that was out of desperation rather than any aspirations of greatness). We used to be an industrial superpower, we are not now. We used to have a fabulous military and navy, we don't now (still have brave men and women serving though). We used to command respect throughout the whole world, we do not now.

    Biscuits...I miss the biscuits and the chocolate. Americans don't have clue. If you come over here bring a supply of biscuits and chocolate.

    I mean, the British can go to any country on this globe, and I mean any, they can take their garibaldis, hobnobs, chocolate digestives, ginger nuts, jammy dodgers, hold them high and at their top of their lungs scream:

    COME AND HAVE A DO IF YOU THINK YOU'RE HARD ENOUGH!

    See, things are getting better, we're definitely a lot more trustworthy!
