one of the things Barthes does in the essays in Mythologies is explore a 1950s French experience of reflexively seeking authentic Frenchness so yeah this is definitely not unique to England.
not that this thread has ever been about the idea that dislocation from a national identity is uniquely English, we're just documenting the uniquely English expressions of it

The nudity, the fact that it's a waterpistol ...
That Mercia Tourist board website is terrifying.

been reading stories with the title 'I Am English' on experienceproject.com
I Am English
English Not British! I really hate it when you get those equal ops forms and you have to tick White British. I was Born in England. I Live in England which is part of the British Isles yes, but I am English.I cannot be British because for that to be so, my Mother would have had to be an extremely talented woman. She would have had to have given birth in all the countries in the British Ises, all at the same time, which isn't really possible is it? RobertaSunsetRobertaSunset 36-40, F 71 Responses

Good day yeoman folk of perfidious Albion..
I'm looking for chatter, amusement, verbal jousting. Fun and guffery in all its forms..
And human contact. Lordy yes.
Despite being a married man with oodles of kids and a full time job in a people facing profession the loneliness is palpable.. deleteddeleted 26-30 1 Response

This doesn't mean much ethnically! I am a huge mixture of (mostly) European heritage, with the 'English' part including Celtic (Irish and Northumbrian) and Anglo-Saxon, and I grew up in England. My cousin traced my father's family back to the middle ages, and it's a wild mixture! :) ProfessorYaffleProfessorYaffle 41-45, F

23 April will soon be upon us and no doubt the celebrations will be conspicuous by their absence yet again.
Yesterday I caught the local Area Manager of J D Wetherspoon and asked what the Company intentions were, to which he replied that they didn't usually do anything special. He was certainly on our side.
I pointed out that this was not in the National interest and therefore might be considered treasonable, and also the publicity value of being the only big pub chain celebrating. He will be at head office today and will push the issue.
I'm sure that I don't have to urge you to do likewise. Please let us know who you kick! bilnicbilnic 70+, M 3 Responses

tfw you have to banter a bit w/the guys who are fixing the old leaky gutters in yr block before they start work -- this is hackney so of course they are friendly and lovely essexmen, basically apologetic for being a bit late, which it turns out is because of… THE UNIONS!
banter now slips sideways into the eternal baffled animus of the self-employed towards the power of collective bargaining: "the drivers are paid so much!"
i want to say "yes, southern shd be re-nationalised, along with the rest of the railways, its current owners and managers removed, shamed and where appropriate jailed: vote corbyn!" -- but of course i also want the gutters to be done well and quickly (as they serve the whole block and the leaks currently inconvenience others much more than me), so i smile blandly and nod along

A few members of the crowd brandished a pig's head - a taunt to Muslims who do not eat pork - and took turns taking bites out of it.
