Brits don't want no stinkin' mottos
The Prime Minister of Britain has launched a "statement of values" program, one task of which is to come up with a sort of slogan that encapsulates British identity. This has not really caught fire among British citizens. The Times of London sponsored a motto writing contest. Some of the entries were:
Once Mighty Empire, Slightly Used We Apologize for the Inconvenience The readers voted and the winner was: No Motto Please, We're British. My own personal favorite was: At Least We're Not French |
Mainer, New Yawka, Beijinger, Californian, points between. News, views and ballyhoos that piqued my interest and caused me to sigh, cry, chuckle, groan or throw something.
