Careful, matey you don't know my origins, not mention that beer drinking is my best shot at Olympic glory!
Also, the pedant in me has to point out that there are about 60 million in the UK and they ain't all English!
Also, I think Australia should be proud of the UK achievements at the Olympics because they did it by copying us! After the 96 Olympics when they got 1 medal they realised something had to be done and started to put money into setting up an equivalent of the AIS in Canberra (which has single handedly provided Australia with much of it's sporting success), amoungst other schemes. This has obviously proved successful, but could they have done it without our example?
