Is there an Oralsex someplace?

It's up the Bristol Channel.

The English must be the most sex-obsessed people on the planet. Why else would they give large swaths of their country names like Essex, Sussex, Wessex and Middlesex? Is there an Oralsex someplace?

Oscar Wilde was Irish.

I celebrate the Cherry Valley Massacre and Oliver Cromwell.

"English habit" - would that be what the English refer to as "Greek love"?

I would have nutted anyone that had accused me of the "English habit".

George... Don't do that.

When in Australia, I always ask for Hot English on my snags.
And in the the Netherlands, the kids used to love going to the sweetshop and asking for "Engelse drop" (liquorice allsorts to the rest of us). But as a kid in Greece I would have nutted anyone that had accused me of the "English habit".

Does reading PG Wodehouse, Evelyn Waugh, Saki and Oscar Wilde make me English?
Does enjoying Flanders & Swan and Noel Coward make me English?
Does growing up on British comedies make me English?

I too enjoy the occasional g&t in the summer (although these days I substitute vodka), apply English to cueballs when necessary and have been known to scarf down an English muffin from time to time.

I enjoy a gin and tonic on a summer afternoon and I'm not even bloody English.

Most English things are an amalgamation of other cultures... but, I am glad to celebrate the probable spanish origin of morris dancing, the probable german origin of accordions, the probable latin origin of roast pork or chicken ;)

I, for one, Phil, keep fit with lawn tennis, grow hedera helix/English ivy in my flat, love a stottie stuffed with chips, and use a tenor recorder/English flute to introduce my selection of English folk songs and hymns...

I hated English, especially double English.

Why don't we celebrate all things English?

The French, the Welsh, even the Cornish contribution to popular culture is widely recognised, even celebrated. The English contribution has been overlooked for too long!

Follyfoot! Are you being served? Variety Bandbox! Aldershot Town FC! Let's celebrate all things English!
