Don't say your English Re StGeorge's Day!
 

DON’T SAY YOU ARE ENGLISH

Goodbye my England, so long old friend
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end.
To be Scottish or Irish or Welsh that’s just fine,
But don’t say you’re English that’s way out of line!

The French and the Germans may call themselves such,
As may the Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch.
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane,
But don’t say you are English ever again.

At Broadcasting House that word is taboo,
In Brussels they’ve scrapped it, in Parliament too.
Even schools are affected, staff do as they’re told,
They mustn’t teach children about the England of old.

Writers like Shakespeare, Milton or Shaw,
Do pupils not learn about them anymore?
How about Agincourt, Hastings or Mons?
Where England lost hosts of her very brave sons.

We’re not Europeans, how can we be?
Europe is miles away, over the sea!
We’re English from England let’s all be proud.
Stand up and be counted, shout it out loud!

Let’s tell Tony Blair and Brussels too.
We’re proud of our heritage, not just red, white and blue.
Fly the flag of St. George, not the Union Jack!
Let the World know ENGLAND is back!

Says it all for me!!!!

Regards

beutifull m8:D

i train in Scotland with the air born reg there for 90-days, not one time any of them say to me they are English, a lot of people said to me "we are Scott's we are proud tobe Scottish". even in the pub's i went into. great people they are. like the dance they did and young people were really nice to see, can't say much for the young teenagers weird hair style (rainbow colors) at the time i was there punk rockers fans. 1981 i was in Scotland.

man i feel sorry one night in a pub a hot lades ask me for a fag man did i tell her off, only later on i found out fag is a cigarette.

LOL!! Funny stuff Chief ;)

You seen "Braveheart"? That movie pretty much covers the whole Scotland deal. ;)

Right on! :cool:

I wish we could get more of that here in the States...none of us are Americans anymore. You're either Arab American or African American or Asian American.

Rarely do you ever hear people say "I'm an American." Though it's mostly with the minorities that even designate themselves, most don't even identify. For the most part, you're either democrat or republican, not an American.

Will let me say:
will guy i am a happy proud American and i serve this great country for 10 freaking year in the US-Army, at any time i would give my life for this great country for the people, and the people we stand side by side with from other country's as will.

as for my Back ground i am English and part German, grand mother use to tell me her family tree was Cossack's (before USSR time, southen parts) were it started from, she even Speak the funny languish too. she dead now days pass way in 1985
1911-1985

me only speak english and speak some germany not much (2%).
===========================================
even if i move to Scotland i still say it and say i am a proud to live in scotland with all the scott's there as will, they are the best people i seen in this world around i been to 11 countrys and the best people i seen were from Scotland and AUS. they take no crap from no one. never been to england but be side the point they are good hearted people in the U.K
been around the world 3x

It seems we now live in a world where everyone must have a label so they fit in a nice little box for the statistic gatherers.

What can be a greater honour than to call yourself and American? Or an Englishman/woman or Scottish or Welsh or what ever?

As I've said on these boards before, my father was an American and if I went to live permanently in the United States I would be honoured to take an oath of allegiance and become an American and not expect to be called "English American!"

If you want to be a citizen of any nation then surely you should be prepared to live as a full citizen of that country, it doesn't mean you lose your history or culture it just means your part of something new with ties to an old life.

So the rest of the world likes to think.
I've seen so many bemused Chinese/Canadians/Americans as to why we werent all wearing kilts lol

That remineds me of a friend of mine from London who said how many people from overseas were surprised to find out that not everyone in London wore a bowler hat and carried an umbrella lol:)!!!!

Regards :p :p :p :p :p

LMFAO!! Good one. Do the Lords and Barans still have those huge side burns??

Ive got friends who came out from japan and constantly were asked in there were any samurai and ninja.

Do what we do and promote the stereotype, there are even shows starting to pop just just to promote the stereotype...

Some Europeans are amazed that we don't use wagons and all wear cowboy hats. It's quite funny :D

:) HAHA

We do all seem to have certain ideas about various other countries as they do about us where ever we may live but when you get to meet those people where ever they may be from, you usually find that there are more similarities that differences.

Everyone seems to worry about the same things generally, give or take obvious differences, but on the whole people are just people where ever you may go:)!!!!!

Warm Regards to all:)!!!! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
