For parking his van somewhere scenic and having a w@nk? Or being a “scruffy truck fitter”? 🙂
I like Guy, admire his skill and racing spirit, also his honesty and ‘joie de vivre’ – but does he make me proud to be British? No.
I admire people mentioned above, other Brits too – just not in a different way than I admire any other individual, regardless of nationality. Maybe I just don’t get patriotism.
To paraphrase Doug Stanhope – “Britain is just a government trying to make you behave in a certain way. We’re not British; we’re just people, individuals. I’m no more British than I am a virgo or an uncle, it’s something you called me and I just was here”
