Get the England mug.A member nation of the United Kingdom. It is part of an island nation in western Europe, which invented football (which we have mixed results in) Rugby (same again) and many other handy things.
Together with Scotish enlghtenment (mainly based in Edinburgh) Welsh raw materials, Irish manpower. The English played a huge part in turning Great Britain into the first truly industrialised nation.
It also (again with the aid of the other home nations) formed the largest empire the world had yet seen. Strangely the English attempts at Empire had been successful but not greatly so, while the Scots had failed in panama. When the two combined however things really took off (strange)
The English also proved themselves to be a strong fighting nation both on sea and land and contrary to popular myth were equal to the other home nation regiments. For some reason many seem to believe that a race of people that sailed across the North sea and took over much of the fertile land of Great Britain and then fought virtualy non stop with Europe, should be considered pansies.
The English are now a hugely mixed group, however as they consider and take pride in their mixed basterdised background (creating a better stronger gene pool) this has had no real negative consequences unless a group is clearly segregating themselves (hence the dislike of the muslim veil)
The English relationship with the rest of the U.K. has been tense for many years in the past due mainly to the constant wars between themselves with no clear outcome other than pointless arguements over things that happened in the middle ages.
The main cause for dislike now is not so much cultural differences (as there are none to speak of other than accents)it is more of a dislike based on news reports wanting to create hatred. Football and Rugby matches that are treated like wars (its only a sodding game)and a sense of calling yoursef different for the sake of wanting to be different. This has been fueled by a largely pointless and over nostalgic view of the past in many celtic countries which now believe they can improve themselves by dressing stupidly and speaking languages that are basically defunct. rather like the Italians reverting to Latin on a whim or the English learning Anglo Saxon.

Get the England mug.A nice little country sitting next to France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Norway! the people here are quite normal and do not speak all posh like in american films ,nor do they sit around all day drinking tea and eating scones! we do sometimes like a bit of tea and cake, but we also love the fizzy stuff and ice-cream.
We are not that obsessed with football, some of us would rather do cartwheels down hills or watch an awsome tv programe like Doctor who, Lost, Heroes, the X-Factor, Eastenders, My Family or something depressing and worring like Panorama. sometimes Americans decide to copy Brit TV programes which is annoying, but we do love some American tv shows!
We have also produced some wicked Authors: Jk Rowling -Harry potter, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens or Shakespeare! there are also some cool musicans and stuff, Queen, Leona Lewis, The Beatles, The Who and a load of other cool people! we have plenty of awsome actors too! we also gave the world: King Arthur, the knights of the round table and Merlin. we have a lot of history!
most of us have no idea why some people, ehem, AMERICANS, have taken a strong dislike to the English,(probably just jealous of our unpredictable weather) which is silly since some of us have never met an american and most have never offended one.
we are nice. ignore the government and all that. they annoy us too. we hate homework, animal cruelty, maths, double maths, spiders, peas and Twilight. Well I do anyway!
