Received this today on the round robin e-mail thingy. I always used to call myself English and am able to prove that back to 18th century. Now do not always know if I wish to be associated. However post this for you to read anyway.

From The Queen's Royal Lancers Website:











Goodbye to my England, So long my old friend



Your days are numbered, being brought to an end



To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fine



But don't say you're English, that's way out of line.







The French and the Germans may call themselves such



So may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch



You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane



But don't say you're English ever again.







At Broadcasting House the word is taboo



In Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliament too



Even schools are affected, staff do as they're told



They must not teach children about England of old.







Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and

Cyprusishome

if you disliked the place so much why did it take you so long to leave the place? Perhaps you made a decent living there during your life? More than you could of in the TRNC?

I knew she wasn't English because she spoke it far too well..

The Grammar was goodly, the verbs as they should be and the slang was bang on the bell..



So as the language barrier banged and clanged I could not here, hear or see..

Enlgand, London and Bow, crumble in the sea.



Brits you are MOST WELCOME to North Cyprus!



You are family now!

Its true even when you fill in a UK government form you have to put British not English. On a visit to Australia I put Cockney and was dealayed for three Hours. Not allowed to keep our birth rights!!!!

unfortunatley due to the rules of the forum I am unable to answer your many posts in which you seem to take delight in putting myself down.



Now go off and play with the traffic

There'll always be an England

While there's a country lane,

Wherever there's a cottage small

Beside a field of grain.

There'll always be an England

While there's a busy street,

Wherever there's a turning wheel,

A million marching feet.

Quarmby Msg 9 what does that have to do with those facts stated in the poem ? you can fly an Scottish flag or a Welsh flag without ant trouble but when you fly the St Georges cross it's a different story why ? and is it any coincidence that all local councils in the UK are now calling Christmas lights winter festival lights.

msg 4 could almost have been written by a Brit estate agent in the TRNC.

Please can the moderators note the foul language im msg 6, albeit not fully disclosed by Cyprusishome, surely this is in breach of the forum rules,as Cyprusishome is constantly quoting on this forum. Please moderate him before this forum degenerates.

Cyprusishome, I cannot see why you cannot answer a few simple points put towards you, obviously without you once again using foul language.

I'm so proud to be Welsh.We don't squabble and bicker like our neighbours to the East!!!Is it to do that they have a Queen with German blood and her consort has Greek blood.

The church emptied. The noon sun fell in bright spears of colour over the old Jocelyns; beyond the porch was a picture of harvest set in a Norman frame. The rich earth had borne its children, and over the fields was that same smile which a man sees only on the face of a woman when she looks down to the child at her breast.

I went out into the churchyard where the green stones nodded together, and I took up a handful of earth and felt it crumble and run through my fingers, thinking as long as one English field lies against another there is something left in the world to love.



"Well", smiled the vicar, as he walked towards me between the Yew trees, "that is all we have".



"You have England," I said.

Nige, msg 8



Sorry the meds not working, strait jacket has been on most of the day. Probably all tomorrow as well. Psychiatrist all monday am.



Pain in the backside this situation where people can have as far as I have identified so far, 4 log ins on this and other forums!!!!!!!!!



Suppose it is sad really that this is all they can find to do with there time. may be they would be better served by returning to England to save the place. Scotland, Wales and NI appear to be saved already!!

Thank you Pte Pike.



He did a couple on "In search of Scotland" and "In Search of Wales".



Either he didn't find them or they were very, very boring.



Men in skirts and an unfortunate fondness for sheep spring to mind.

Most Europeans don't find us boring Lemtich. Far less so than

our Southern neighbours. As I'm half English & have relatives

all over the world I know this. I'm afraid the English have a reputation

for being either stuck up, or downright ignorant. Not fair, I know but

there it is.
