    Very patriotic, in a very British way. Queue well and don't panic when things blow up and stuff. Treat everyone as a foreigner, even when it's their country. Criticise Britain to bits though, as any true patriot should. And don't know the national anthem beyond the first couple of lines, like any other true patriot.

    I don't think anyone is really patriotic as openly here as in, say, America. I don't think I have seen a Union Jack on a public building where I live since the jubilee, see a St George flag on top of Churches sometimes. The town hall had a Gay Pride flag up for a while.
