Re: Britain/British day...
 

UK? Don’t you mean Great Britain…………:D

Re: Britain/British day...
 

As I pointed out when you were wrong about us not having a national team, at the Olympics I'm not sure what they call us now.

Though of course we always will be GB.:)

Re: Britain/British day...
 

Stop hijacking threads for the "Garinda Gets one in Campaign"……:D

I think you shot yourself in the foot and drew 1-1 there old son……:p :D

Re: Britain/British day...
 

That's not very British.

Where's your stiff upper lip?

Britains are magnanimous in defeat as in victory.:)

Re: Britain/British day...

Re: Britain/British day...
 

Yeah, I heard about that………………:)

Grunted was the expression used :D

Re: Britain/British day...
 

A British Day is a great idea but leave Remembrance Day alone. I vote for 21 October, Trafalgar Day, particularly if it became a Bank Holiday as there is none between the end of August and 25 December.

I would also like to see more made of 23 April, St George's Day. Saints Andrew, Patrick and David always have their flags out and their celebrations. We English should do the same. :)

Re: Britain/British day...
 

Do we really know how to define British because someone somewere will object to a part of it. We are citizens of a multi cultural multi religious multi lingual multi national community so could we have a citizens day? Proberly not as the objections thrown at a British Day would surface as well.


Best to be safe and have a Falling out disagreeing winging day instead we as an Island are good at that. :D

Re: Britain/British day...
 

British day should be about being British, being proud to be British, about the things we've achieved. There's a fine line between being proud to be British and claiming to be better because we are British, because that where the racism creeps in and where the objections start from the other cultures in Britain, aswell as the BNP thinking it's a propagander day for them.

Re: Britain/British day...
 

In the same way that the Scots celebrate St. Andrew’s day, the Welsh celebrate St. David’s day and the Irish celebrate St. Patrick’s day, we English should celebrate St. George’s day on the 23rd April and fly the flag.:engsmil:

However if we are to have a National Day then it would need to encompass England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland. I like the idea suggested by West Ender, that 21st October as Trafalgar Day would be appropriate as the British National Day. If nothing else it would thumb the British nose at the froggies and of course it would have to be a bank holiday. It is time to grab the Union Flag back from the National Front.

We do have a British sporting team Doug – The British Lions Rugby Union team.

If you hold or are eligible to hold a British passport then you are British SPUGGIE J. If you don’t or are not eligible then you are not British. It is that simple.

P.S. The rest of the world has got over Xmas – all but this forum it seems.

Re: Britain/British day...
 

Yes, of course that would be the danger - it would need to be a fine balance of being proud to be British without any racism creeping in - that would be a very hard thing to do!

Re: Britain/British day...
 

I agree with WestEnder on this one, we should make more of St.Georges Day - I'd like to bet that most folk don't even know when it is
