  1. In the 80s at my my secondary comprehensive it wasn't overly patriotic - sung hymns at assembly and had readings i.e Scott of the Antarctic.

    At air cadets a bit more respectful for the order of things - as needed to understand what a salute represented in the chain of things andr orders and obeying them.

    All against a background of The Goodies and OTT Tim Broook-Taylor - early antidote to rise of contemorory popular nationalism. i.e Farage.

    So personally patriotic as weak tea, and from a sampling of Facebook friends it seems flag waving nationlism is mainly confined to folk who have served or have family that have served, next stage down and quite popular is stability from Queen and royal family as Queenies been around for living memory despite the shenanigans around her.

    Schools nowadays have on syllabus 'British values' taught quite liberally. Still not quite the same as mindless flag worship.

    A MAN dressed in a yellow dog costume was detained by police officers at an entrance to Colchester Garrison.

    Officers with Essex Police and Colchester's Military Police were filmed leading the man into a waiting police car.

    A witness, who asked not to be named, said: "I saw them detaining a man, who looked like he was dressed as Pudsey bear, on the floor.

    "I couldn't quite believe it."
