Thankfully someone had the guts to stand up and challenge that decision stating that our forces should be proud to wear the uniform, more so in their own country. Now the true Brits are lining the streets as our brave men and women come home after their seemingly thankless task of defending freedom. As for the weak, non-patriotic and 'anti this and that' brigade, words fail me! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Getting back to Brits moaning about the hot summer weather - when Brits say "hot", what do you mean exactly? For me, hot is anything over 85 F., but I think a lot of people define "hot" as being in the 90's or 100's F. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
