It's just a symbol of a national day, which is perhaps something
(looking at it a different way) that the English avoid precisely
*because* they are insecure about what their nationality represents.

My nationality is British though, not English. I was born in the
United Kingdom and see no need to try and divide our country into
different states.

You're obviously a social-climbing Scot or Taff!

Lol. Afraid not ;-). Born in Buckinghamshire then moved to Bristol and
now Birmingham.

Heh... must have a thing about living in places beginning with the
better 'B.'
