True, true, both Mancie & Wyn make valid points about the British reserve & not making a big thing over our special days/events especially the English. But in the present day & environment it is more to do with the overbearing pressure applied by local Councils & unelected bodies who claim offence on behalf of the "Perceived Offended", that more patriotism & National pride isn't so widely displayed (Flying the St.George flag, not overly flambouyant & a subtle reminder we're English).

Unfortunately the above has more to do with our lack of National Pride than the more typically perceived Great British reserve.
