An Englishman enters the room

Hi jim and welcome to the site. Glad to see another collector of WWII photos and photoalbums on this site. Now Kai, Hucks, Skipper, Erich and I, will not feel like a Clique in the Militaria forums ;-))

 

welcome jim,good site you have...

 

Hello to all who have welcomed me aboard ...
C.Evans ..i'm surprised there are so few photo collectors on such a large forum site . I think a good authentic photo album tells a story ...i'm quite passionate about them. And happy that there are not hoards of fellow collectors ...( prices would go through the roof if there were ) .
Did someone refer to me as a Brit ? My nationality is English ,no big deal,no far right motives ..I follow the English Football ,Rugby and cricket teams ...does Britain really exist ?...i'm just English , I was born to English parents ,in England and proud of it ...mosts Scots ,Irish and Welsh will fully understand . Ok the English are the most hybrid breed on the globe, of diverse genetic ancestry ,but so what ..i'm English .
I get really irritated when I have to fill in official forms in Britain ...every other nation is listed ..but England . Are we such a bad country that we should feel ashamed of our nationality/ history ...all plain daft ...Rant over !!
I feel better for that .
Back to my photos ...

Hello Wessex ,its only a personal gripe, a grumpy old man thing . ...considering ones self English , rather than British now-days seems to be somehow deviant , I just wonder when English became a dirty word .
I'm bright enough to know its all meaningless stuff and nonsense ..reality is we are all merely monkeys that got too smart for our own good ...there were no weapons of mass destruction when we were uncultured / uncivilised .
I need another cup of tea ( Earl Grey of course dear boy ) .

Well I supposed I can't claim to be 100% English as me Nan was Welsh but ssshhhh don't tell anyone will ya?

 

Krushka ...i'm not entirely sure what you are saying ...but thats normal for me .I put it down to tiredness ....and Cheese & cucumber sandwich poisoning.
Gawd blimey love ,its way past me bedtime , must make me way up the apple and pears for a little shut eye.

Hello hornetsfan,

Good God, Cheese & Cucumber - is that what the Splendid Isolation has let you poor fellows end up with?

Have a good rest and see you around

Krushka dear boy....the family's hit hard times ,only last week we had to lay off the butler and sell the Rolls-Royce . We have already eaten the chauffeur...Cheese & cucumber is all we can afford , times are tough in blighty .
Besides , with these rotten teeth ...soft cheese and cucumber sandwiches is all one can reasonably manage .

Hmmm.

I guess the whole british thing is a reaction to so many referring to english, when they think of all brits.


No gripe with people beeing english and proud.

Spent some time in Newcastle and studied in Aberdeen.

 

Im spartacus...sorry Im a Brit...Thats me and Wessex then..the rest of you can be English by all means. Welcome to another Englishman. I prefer being a mongral brit though.

 

urqh the [part] Welshman in me is getting very excited by that photo of a sheep you have.
I'll go down the shed & get me wellies out.

 

What happened to the pirates?

 

You leave dolly alone you viet taff....Shes armed and dangerous....
