There are also plenty of reasons for Britons to be boastful about their country.

Despite the present crop of outrages, we remain a beacon of moderation.

We’d rather have a cup of tea or a glass of tea, and maybe get our dose of disgust not from corruption, oppression or state brutality, but from the weekly results of Strictly .

You can point to just about any location on the British map and a brilliant musical act will have emerged from its streets at some juncture in the past 70 years .

Manchester , London and Glasgow are a ceaseless swirl of melodic creativity.

Oxford shrugged off its gowns and mortarboards to give the world Radiohead.

This year marks the bicentenary of the British Museum and the National Gallery .

Like cheeses, most regions have their own flavour of humour.

In St Agnes , Cornwall , locals excitedly told me about the annual Tour de Piss, a boozy fancy dress bike race between pubs.

In nearby Wales , they snorkel in bogs for laughs, while Edinburgh devotes itself to comedy.
