Re: Britain/British day...
I really don't think this is such a good idea. We are British & we are different & we are better. So let other countries get up to such nonsense, but for us - we simply do not have to. Britain is, after all, a State comprised of 4 Nations, whereas for our friends in America, they are one nation comprised of 50 States. Let them celebrate the 4th of July. As for the Frogs - as far as I am aware - they have nowt else to celebrate, anyway. As for our portrayal of patriotism, them I'm more than happy to wave to our Sovereign Majesty the Queen once every 20 years or so.
We should certainly have an additional holiday or even two - maybe one in October or early November, such as Trafalgar Day or Bonfire Night, and maybe one in June - Waterloo day or D day -but call it that.
