Now, it's my view that Americans are more patriotic than the Brits, even though I consider myself to be proud of my country, and display my St George Flag at every available opportunity, on my desk at work, in the car during the football championships & qualifiers, and of course on St George's Day which falls on April 23rd each year.
It does annoy me however, that that day is not celebrated moreso, as it's an important day in the English calendar, but there is no national holiday, no big celebrations, only what seems a limited amount of celebrating, but every year on April 23rd, I will lift a pint to St George.
Whilst in America, it seems that you love your country, or at least on the face of it you do. I'm sure are the the usual niggles behind problems that you all face, and decisions that are made by your government and people in power in general, but when called to show support for your nation, it always seems very colo(u)rful from over here.
Even to the point of seeing your national anthems being sung before every baseball game, if that was to be suggested over here, before every football (soccer) game, the idea would be laughed out of the stadium.
So, the question here is, are the US more patriotic than the Brits?
Come on Brits, your time to defend our nation!
