Come on.. our country isn't so bad is it? I bet the residents of other countries could write similar articles picking out all the bad points about their nation too but most aren't willing to be quite so negative about where they live. Nobody seems to bash Britain better than one of its own citizens.

I think it would be interesting to read an illustrated well written article in relpy to this one that highlights all the good points about our country. We'd probably then be swayed in to thinking that Britain isn't such a bad place afterall.

I'm not capable of writing that well unfortunately. All I know is that I'm British and proud to be so. Of course there will always be things that could be much better about the place and bad things will always happen. However, I believe that would be true of just about anywhere in the world. We've always been looked after by our country pretty well on balance and have no desire to live anywhere else.

We just had a walk along the Basingstoke Canal in the sunshine and right now there's no place I'd rather be. Could rain tomorrow though...
