And the winner is...
It's understandable, this Government search for a British motto, now isn't it? They must feel that they've got the basics locked down, that they have fingertip control of all the important stuff and we've all got time to think of our national story.
I agree. So I am pleased we have been able to help. Here's how the votes of more than 4,000 of you were distributed.
And the winner is: No motto please, we're British.
Good advice, that.
"We apologise for the inconvenience" - Gordon Brown just opened today's PMQs with these very words. He seems to be learning how to sound British if nothing else.

Excellent winner - makes you proud to be British! What a pity you were just too soon for 'Has anyone seen our discs?'

No motto please, we're British? Are you joking? That's the best we can come up with. WOW! Really got some of Britian's finest comedic minds working on that one! Good job.
