I was listening to something the other day on the radio and a handful of people, who are now British citizens but originally from other countries, were asked what they think it is to be British. Not one of them could say and I sat there and thought 'nor could I'. I guess we're different to many countries as we don't have any ways that only we practice, that probably comes from being such a dominant figure in the world and making everyone else do the same.... have we anything left that is truely British! answers on an email.
