So, no matter what your view of recent events and with what seems like constant negativity around Britain I thought id have a bit of light hearted fun... What actually makes you proud to be English/British??

For me David Jason, Cheese and pickle sandwiches and the Red Arrows!!... Go!!

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Irony. Churchill. History. Football. Understatement. Manners. Pubs. Music

The head of this snake is white. Malcom x asked the question as did lammy.

I wouldn't say proud (nor ashamed). I'd say happy to be this ethnicity (white British). It's the only one I know and it doesn't make me any better or worse than anyone else in the world.

When I get to know people from overseas and hear what attracted them to leave their country of birth and start a new life in the UK.
On the whole, it seems, as a people, we have more respect and manners than the ones in their former homelands. Also a sense of fairness allowing everybody to have a decent crack of the whip whatever one's background may be.
As the OP has encouraged a light-heartedness to this thread, for now, I'll suppress my real horror when I recognise my tribe falling short on the qualities mentioned above.
So, as well as The Red Arrows ( as mentioned by KBLF) too, although I can't fathom why, I also have pride in our nation's interpretation of Chuck Berry's Rock'n'roll throughout the 60's, 70's and beyond, sometimes known, across the pond as The British Invasion.
