OK , apologies for the 'cock-up' in the thread title , (no way to edit after posting) . the idea behind my original post was just to ask why , as an 'Englishman' who now lives overseas is why the other nations/parts of the UK or GB are more often than not portrayed in international media (movies/cinema/news) in a more positive role than the English ,

Na you've got that wrong Eric, Obama's command of the English language ain't that special, its just that after 8 years of George W. it makes his oratory skills look brilliant:D

The point about being English is that we don't bother about how either we or others see ourselves; we have the winning ticket in the lottery of life.... unless, of course, you're from Ossy.
