  5. We are one of the richest nations in the world. We have clean running water on tap; we have access to quality food; we have not a war on our own soil to contend with.

    We have a great heritage; great music, art, entertainment, architecture. We have some sort of democracy (admittedly - not the best in the world)

  6. Because no matter what troubles are going on just now it is still a great group of countries to live in . I have lived in various parts of the UK and all areas have positives . Even in the most built up areas you are not usually far from a country area or the seaside

    Yes we can find some negatives , but I think the positives far outweigh them

  7. beats the h**l out of being Canadian

      

    Being British is about driving in a German car

    to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer,

    then grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way home,

    to sit on Swedish furniture

    and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
