Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Nationalism can mean different things:

(1) Hey, look here, we've have great fun doing things our way! Come and join in!
(2) We're us, and you are different, so bugger off and leave us alone. You say this is your house? Well there, we've burnt it down, so now bugger off before we kill you.

I know which I prefer.
