What Makes You Proud To Be British?

[bluethrunthru]

To be fair I love the English pomp of it. I thought they were all English to be honest, but in general I just find it a really good watch.

can you tell me why you thought Giacomo Puccini , Gabriel Faume' and Camille Saint-Saens were English as they all featured tonight? Even Henri Mancini was American.

Have a listen to Classic FM and BBCR3 in the car - I often do - sometimes I know the tune but have no idea what it is but can still enjoy it

It was good - no great - just avoid falling into the trap that this is all English patriotism to like Carmen etc - good music is good music

this one ? Eric who died this year was from the USA (Bizet, a Frenchman, wrote the the other Carmen)

I find that weird.

I don't ever really feel patriotic but that Spitfire scene running out of fuel in the film Dunkirk brought a tear to my eye.

Guacamole is what gets served in Norf Landon cafes 'n restaurants. It's what Arse fans have on their toast when we Mancs have beans. Or is that 'smashed avocados'?

The day Peter Mandelson gave his verdict on chips and mushy peas...

Rory Bremner took the piss when he suggested that Mandelson would have fish 'n chips with a white wine sauce!
