Here's an article, "I'm English, but what does that mean?",
by Anthony Andrew for 'The Guardian' (30 June 2004):

http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0...250307,00.html

"So much so, in fact, that you could argue that the defining characteristic
of being English is to be in a state of confusion about what it means to be
English. The modern English identity, we might conclude, is an identity crisis.
....
But mostly you hear the words ('the American people') because America,
for all its gaping divisions and latent hatreds, loves America.
After just a few days (in the United States), I felt suffocated by the
certainty and enforced inclusiveness of 'the American people' (though,
of course, the phrase excluded me). I longed for doubt. Like love,
doubt is a feeling that can only be fully appreciated in its absence.

There may be no clear definition of the English people--after all, you rarely
hear the phrase--but that, I think, is one of our most attractive qualities.
When I returned to London, the streets were full of St George's crosses--which
commemorate, in true English style, a mythical Turk--but I was not fooled.
The sense of irony and burlesque safely won out over jingoism and seriousness.
It was, in short, a relief to be home in England where, as an American once
wrote, my heart lies."

but how come they are using a different country's flag:

What country is that flag from?

England. England is only one of the nations referred to by the 4NCL.

After England's Harriet Hunt won the World Junior Championship, she
was slightly discomfitted, she said, to find herself standing under
the Union Jack while 'God Save the Queen' was played in her honour. :-)

Could a nightingale sing in Berkeley Square when there's no one about
in the Quad? :-)
