Thoughts on Englishness…

This whole concept really intrigues me! Which I hoped it would otherwise it would have been a lot harder to explore… It instantly got me thinking about our country’s culture and history. However, I suppose that, that is the very top layer of this idea, it’s the basic thought that instantly appears and distracts us from the possibilities, the nooks and cranny’s, the other side of the iceberg! There are a lot of ideas like this though, for example when a lot of people think of englishness they think of;

  • Chavs and chippy’s
  • Royalty! kings and queens e.t.c
  • Caravans
  • The iron lady, Churchill

But then again these things really are imbedded into our society and really do portray Englishness! I don’t know this is a hard one…. I think the best way to tackle this concept is simply to explore each thing.
