Hehe, some of these are pretty good.
Today's Britain: dipso, fatso, bingo, asbo, Tesco
http://news.yahoo.com/s/n...NTtW6.UQvkmfFf15u8ortiBIF LONDON (Reuters) - A motto for modern Britain in five words or fewer? How about "In America we trust" or "At least we're not French", or "Land of yobs and morons".
As Prime Minister Gordon Brown seeks to capture the public's imagination with a search for a national motto, cynicism and subversion are emerging as the most prominent national characteristics.
Readers of The Times have posted hundreds of suggestions on an Internet blog asking for a motto to sum up modern Britain.
For some, it is an opportunity to express pride and confidence:
....
....
Some are wary of any sign of nationalism, warning: "Pride comes before a fall".
And others have grabbed the chance to have a dig at Brown and the Labour government.
"Taxation without Representation is Tyranny" is one of the more political suggestions, along with "Created by heroes, destroyed by Labour" or "Our government no longer listens".
.....
....
"Drinking continues until morale improves" says one. "Our glass is half empty", says another.
The sentiments expressed in the suggestion of "Fat, rude arrogant, racist, selfish" are put into a more modern socio-political setting with: "Dipso fatso bingo asbo Tesco".
One contributor says Britain's motto should be: "Sorry, it's all our fault", another suggests "We apologise for the inconvenience".
One reader suggests Britain should be summed up with the words: "No balls, nerve or glory".
