[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 997665, member: 70552"] History was my favourite subject at school. I didn’t choose to do it at A-level but really enjoyed GCSE and WW1 and understanding the origins of WW2. I would say growing up in this country I noticed how bloody obsessed this country is with it’s history. You only have to look at papers like the daily fail which glorifies our past/royal family and wishes we still live in the 1950s. I think this kind of mentality was borne out of losing the British empire and not having a proper identity, which is partly why we are where we are today. It’s ironic that countries like Germany and Japan have progressed where they are today despite their horrific history instead of being stuck in the past like Britain has IMO. [/QUOTE]
