The question I thought you were going to answer under the cut is: how come your pride is so much less specific than the others? The Welsh icon doesn't have "European pride", and I would have thought that you of all people would be reluctant to be lumped together with Russians, Kazakhs, Japanese and a couple of billion other people with whom you have relatively little in common.

I might even say that's the kind of thing an American would do. :)
