Do any other English subscribers, feel that it is time that England, changed it's out dated and Frenchy national motto. From, "Dieu et mon droit" to something more relevant, English, up to date and more funky? If so, I'd love to hear your suggestions.
God bless America.
Anyone fancy a pint?
Actually, since it is fashionable to have mottos in unpronounceable and useless foreign languages (like French), perhaps this would be more appropriate:
Ce doriti sa beti?
(without the squiggly bits, of course, because we're English)
Eat, drink and be merry.
Come again?
Buy one get one free.
Don't mind if I do.
Perhaps a package reform that also includes the Order of the Garter's motto Honi soit qui mal y pense should be considered.
Put the kettle on
Political correctness gone mad

Bloody heck and by Jove, I think that I may have stumbled on something here. As the pound is in the doldrums and England is devoid of any manufacturing facilities. It looks like tourism may be our future and saviour. If so, "Come again" would be relevant, English and funky.
So. Now that's settled, we need some mottos for the Home Colonies, too.
Let's start with Scotland...
Oats: A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland appears to support the people.
The noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees, is the high road that leads him to England!
Both, of course, from the learned Dr. Johnston.
Two mentions of the Great Cham on this very board, in less than 24 hours!
He must be grinning in his grave.
So, Scotland's settled. Wales, anyone?
Wales ?????
I've got scratches on the inside of my wellies, boyo.
Whats occuring.
Any Welsh motto should start off in English then switch immediately to Welsh as soon as it is aware anyone is reading it...
Wicked... and beautiful!
Given anything elected by the educated masses we would be lucky to get much more than...
WHATEVER
