I don't know if I'm proud of being British, any more than I'm proud of being all. Being British s not something I chose, you see, it's something that happened to me. I realise how lucky I am that I was born into a good family in a wealthy part of a wealthy nation in a time of peace.

I am not a patriot per se, but I agree with this statement:

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
