I AM delighted to read that the Chancellor of the Exchequer wants us to celebrate our heritage and culture with an annual British Day.
As a proud supporter of St George's Day I fully endorse the idea.
Let us not forget however that this proposal is from the same Government in which John Prescott wants the European flag to be flown alongside the Union Flag and the same Chancellor which wants to abolish the most enduring symbol of Britain - the pound.
Am I missing something?
