In answer to the topic.

I don't feel, particularly, proud to be British.

But I do feel very lucky to having been born British.

Can't imagine how unlucky it would be to have been born in some of those countries, out there!

FYI, the RAF Regiment are merely part of the same Royal Air Force who spend their first 3-6 months in the services marching all day for hours on end. They complete basic training, as do the other Armed Forces with an unequalled top drawer standard ready for parade to match any other.
I know, I have been there and have done it.

Jeez man, you are so naive aren't you? Post after post, you rile us all deliberately with your unfounded and ignorant views on anything that takes your fancy. You were a boxer? Well mate, that explains your low level of intellect in a nutshell doesn't it lol!

About time you contributed with more of a pleasant - and knowledgeable - manner, is it not?
Get off your high horse, you impress nobody.

I cannot believe anyone thinks our military excel at marching and drilling. Seems to me we are way down the list. Just watch any Trooping the Colour, the crooked wiggly lines of troops is an embarrassment,, that wouldn't be accepted in some countries.

Very true.

I discover very quickly who is, and who isn't, worth debating with on this forum.

I won't waste my valuable time on people like this. There are plenty of sensible and interesting people here.

I love to watch Trooping The Colour! In fact, l am absolutely mesmerised by the marching troops.
Maybe, it’s the red uniforms that make you react like a raging bull?

Im proud to be Yorkshire then to be English...i could break it down further but then it becomes tribal

Aye, you North Yorkies with your highfalutin ways.
