Find a queue and join it, apologise when there is no need, watch Dot Cotton murder Jerusalem on Eastenders, go abroad find someone for whom English is not their first language and shout at them in English demanding a fryup and chips when the local cuisine is much tastier, invent the idea of international competitive sport and then spend years not doing very well at it, take ideas from other countries and reinvent them, establish seats of learning in science,literature,art and history and break free from conventional institutions like the church and aristocracy whilst simultaneously deeply entrenching a hieriacical class system, get pissed.
The bold and underlined part is all I'll need and do. You Brits are as self loathing as anyone else I've ever encountered. Certainly your history is not entirely great, but it's not all bad either....where's you're pride England? Britain?
