    I have to say, I've definitely found this to be true... OK, Florida is pretty much the armpit of the US, and is filled with bored and desperate women, but the English accent has helped me out more than a few times..

    I've found myself becoming progressively more Hugh Grantian over the last year .

    Lets face it more Brits are swarming to live in France than the other way round. In the Dailymail, in one American study, France came top in the world for the "quality of life"........the UK came 37th.

    I think real British people should be proud to be British. Because of our history first of all, yes out country has done some incredibly stupid things in it's time (the list is endless) but think what we have given the world? It is a shame Britain is a fading power but we will have our day again.

    Not the NHS anymore, but then again I don't work for them anymore! I prefer the food (esp fish and chips with pickled onions), cadburys chocolate, selfridges, beer and all sorts of stuff!
    Not around too often!

    I would like to be PM but I would be tory, so I am not sure what you think about that. If I am to be PM I would be a flag waving brit. , and I would increase the size of our military. Food does not matter as long as there is enoth and not too much. Americans need a good talking to buy us, cus all we do is wipe there asses atm. Also, Sorry but we need to deport.

    The reasons I think Britain is great are;

    Jaffa Cakes
    The weather, I love our climate
    Fish and chips
    Nobody is an unreasonable distance from the seaside
    Our olde English towns
    William Shakespear
    The Beatles
    Eastenders
    Charles Darwin
    Wales, I think Wales is fantastic! i'm lucky living so close to it
    Apples
    Cheese
    Daniel Craig ( mmmm )

    What about the ports, the launching pad of our past/future empire. I think our nation is soo great that we overheated in the late 19th century and crashed. Once we are fixed we will grow again, and the world will be ours and everything in it. (again)

    rember the Americans are a fading super power!
