Not how I read it. Defiance isn't the same thing as winning.

OK, fair enough - Defiance. But don't you think 65 years on still banging on about the war is a bit odd?
Where's the Beatles on that list.
Maybe I'll get a poll going with the same categories and see what we can come up with.

Re: Strange Definition of Britishness
Depends on the context - not forgetting is important; one way to try and make sure it doesn't happen again. Banging on about it 'cause it's the only thing we've ever won, however ... 
But an interesting list. Restaurants?!
A poll sounds an excellent idea.
