Sorry about that."
Typical! No, I'm generally ashamed of being British, especially how they behave when abroad.

Thanks for taking the time to reply then... cheers.

I have heard how good it was so I'm going to spend the morning on catchup. Everyone I know who saw it say they feel proud.:thumbsup:

Re: proud to be British?
 

I certainly did, well done to all the participants, (well apart from Macca) and it seemed to go off without a hitch. The Queen's arrival was very good.

I am proud to be British...if that tripe last night depended on it I wouldn't be:lol:

Re: proud to be British?
 

Not everyone enjoyed the ceremony last night, but overall I thought it was a fantastic display - this was shared by many overseas.
Martin Varsavsky (the Argentinean entrepreneur based in Madrid) had this to say on Twitter:
Above all else, the mix of different musics played last night was a large plus point for the UK. You may be tired of 60s music, dislike punk or can't get on with the modern stuff that Dizzy bloke plays (I probably fit into the last category), but British music is loved and respected worldwide. Again on Twitter, it was described as Britain's secret weapon, and I agree with that sentiment. :thumbup:

Im proud to be British anyway .... it doesnt make an Olympic ceremony to do that

Re: proud to be British?
 

You know I'm not convinced that was really the Queen.....

She didn't look too impressed at all, did she?

Re: proud to be British?
 

She would have had grass stains on her knees if it had been the queen dropping in ;)

Re: proud to be British?
 

I thought she looked annoyed. I saw one camera shot and many of them in the Royal box looked bored to tears.

Could it be ...???

Essentially I am proud to be British, but don't hold with giving it away to people who tick a few boxes and receive a certificate from the mayor

even prouder to be English, even though so many are trying to deny my nationality.

we have a marvellous heritage from The Empire, some of it has gone on to perform well as nations in their own rights whilst regrettably some have become a positive disaster. Never see the like of the European Union will eclipse that heritage

Re: proud to be British?
 

Yes, I am proud to be English too:)

I read that the Scottish and Welsh footballers didn't sing the anthem at their olympic footie match:sneaky:

Re: proud to be British?
 

Nice to see flags of former colonies still proud or happy to display the Union flag as part of their own.

I don't see much sign of the same thing applying to other former colonising nations.
