"Britain is a small island that nobody pays attention to"

Any opinions?

Glad to see you said "Britain", and not "Great Britain".

IMHO the "Great" was lost when Prime Minister Thatcher was hounded from Downing Street.

I should think after Fony Bliars Term in Office the answer is "so called" immigrants.

Our National malade is that the majority of people talk the Nation down instead of talking it up.

There was a family on tv this morning who have decided only to buy products made in Britain. There are just a few things which are not made here, but it sounds like a good idea. I'm old enough to remember the "I'm Backing Britain" campaign, maybe it should be resurrected.

I agree tarmaker, the easiest way to start is buying British food and clothing, furniture etc. Electrical goods, cars, I need help with. Perhaps someone can inform. :)

I have to disagree with Bill this time.I thought Britain lost it's Great bit when Margaret Thatcher arrived in power and stated that "there is no such thing as society" thus releasing the greedy bankers,lawyers, ambulance chasers and press baron's et al on to the rest of us.F.U Jock i'm in the dingy became the mantra that still holds today!
