My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

Being English myselfI haven't really experienced any particular problems when abroad. But then again, I'm not a flag-waving, nationalistic, boorish twat. I do possess an England shirt, but wouldn't dream of taking it on holiday with me - it's reserved for watching the footy in the pub (not this summer, though, the useful, overpaid arse-wits)!
And, I should also point out that I am only *just* English, hailing as I do from a market town on the England/Scots border (which, contrary to popular misconception is not still at war with Russia because of a technical oversight). And had I been born over 500 years ago, I would have been Scottish.
I like the Scots btw, and would always support them in a football match (assuming that they're not playing England, natch). One of my favourite pubs is the Scotsman's Lounge on Cockburn St in Edinburgh - always a warm welcome and good natured banter from the regulars. Being Northern probably helps though :-)
