It's wild daffodils growing under the trees and katkins on the hazel bushes.

I could go on........
Well I will.....Yorkshire teabags, old ladies wearing that cellophane stuff on their outer clothing, bingo, Blackpool, fish and chips, not complaining in restaurants and shops, Peter Kay, rain.

What is English, how about stupidity.

We are spending £25 million on a shooting facility at Woolwich Barracks to house a sport which is illegal in the UK. After the Olympics is over it will be pulled down leaving nothing behind.

The seaside of course? When it is raining... with an ice cream and a little pot of overpriced cockles.

I paddled in the sea yesterday and it was freezing. No condoms though. Very pleasant.

How can anyone say that that is England today though? The only people who stand up for what the believe in regardless of what the law says are Al Qaeda and PETA.

That advert is nothing but nostalgia for what was but is no more. I'm going to stick with the north west coast.

Very risky. Remember you should always practice safe sex and what would have happened if you got caught performing in public
