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

Ellen says hey
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.
