What is Britishness?

Question

Did anyone see this program on BBC1 the other day?

Basically they asked a lot of people to define 'Britishness' and many couldn't.

I was wondering what your definitions would be.

Also - what do you think should be celebrated as British during the 2012 olympics?

Overweight girls in ill-fitting pants vomiting in shop doorways on a friday night.

Britishness= Imperialism and theft.

Answer 4

Happy to take the p**s out of ourselves. Being **** and proud of it! And cheering when something is smashed...
