'People often ask "What is the nature of Englishness? What are the special characteristics of English people?" In 1998, there was a TV discussion on the subject when a number of 'personalities' were asked to give their views. The famous English cricket umpire, Dickie Byrd, now retired, mentioned the following 'key words' which he thought described Englishness: Beer, Honesty, Bulldog-type, Royal Family, Cricket, the Weather, and used phrases such as "comradeship and friendship", "not giving up when things get tough".'
