Kyu
The UK has a great deal of which to be proud.EG its fine universities.(both of 'em) Unfortunately, not everyone would agree about the splendor of its imperial past.
The Irish are still thinking about forgiving England for Cromwell,and the Scots have not even begun to forget Culloden. I'm currently reading a book on the history of the British Raj. Not a whole lot there to boast about either.--and the less said about the British in China the better.

Personally,I'll never forgive England for inflicting America on the rest of the world.
