the young'uns of today could learn a thing or two about Pride a Patriotism if they boherd to read up on churchill

and the greatest ever :-

"Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour"
