We've been brought up to dislike our country and have let the National Front take over flag waving until it became socially unacceptable. Onlyin the last 4 years or so since the Football and Rugby world cups has flag flying / waving been deemed more acceptable.

I'd be very, very depressed. I'm a patriotic kind of guy, and I like flag waving and all these thingies attached with it. Why would you be brought up to dislike your country? You have much to be proud of. It certainly is better than all of Europe.
It is different here. I didn't have a country, but now I have, and I will bring my kids up to be proud of who they are, their country, their anthem, and the pledge.

But by helping a neighbours child you are being a world citizen, not selfish and self centred.

No. Citizen implies allegiance. This new age liberal movement loves to quote how we are "citizens of the world," meaning, there is some higher form of world government.
THERE IS NOT. I have NOT sworn an oath to any world government. My allegiance lies with my countries, and my Queen.
And I don't see helpign a neighbor's child makes you a world citizen.
Europe now has an anthem?
