Far off in sunlit places, Sad are the Scottish faces, Yearning to feel the Kiss Of sweet Scottish rain"

Calling all you Brits out there. It's getting close to Wimbledon, so how about celebrating all things British? I was thinking mebbe Finals Day (mens - and yes, I know it'll probably be an American and a Spaniard fighting for the title), finding a bar showing the match and waving our "Next year for Henman" flags . . . Americans/Spanish/whoever invited of course, so long as you put on a Noel Coward accent, spell words such as colour and programme correctly, don't mention 1776 and agree that tea (PG Tips with milk) is the best drink in the world.
Soooze? EnglishPilot? Anyone?
PS tongue firmly in cheek!
Glory, glory to the hibees . . .

I'd be up for that. A bit of Bucks Fizz and a cucumber sandwich or two. For some reason I normally pay more attention to the ladies matches but I'm sure I can make an exception.

Of course! Let´s bring a bit of "Henmania" to Madrid. Even though my flag is so old and moth-eaten it now reads "Go He.man!" (at least it's multi-use), I will still patriotically and blindly support the under-achieving, useless Britons.
Who else?

First match starts in 26 minutes - so we're due a reminder of Brits United. Moore's bar in Tribunal seemed to be preferred choice.
BTW, all women in western Europe are biologically descended from just seven women several thousands years ago. Which means there's a one in seven chance that Rafael Nadal has British ancestors. And if he really can't play on grass, then we'll definitely know he's got British blood in him

This Brit feeling jaded - nothing to do with tennis, more to do with having too good a time at Gay Pride last night. Having just received message of "good night" from Sooooooze, I think I'm echoing that cry. Who cares about two men with silly balls, I'm going to bed for the day.
Another time, Brits??????
