England is a nation ordsprog

To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of customers, may at first sight appear a project fit only for a nation of shopkeepers. It is, however, a project altogether unfit for a nation of shopkeepers, but extremely fit for a nation that is governed by shopkeepers.

[After orchestrating an attack that helped the New England Patriots win three of the past four Super Bowls, first-year Notre Dame head coach Weis has molded the Irish's offense into the nation's ninth-ranked unit (504.2 yards per game).] It definitely has his mark all over it, ...

[76th over: England 292-5 (Flintoff 44, G Jones 13) More good stuff from Flintoff, who rocks back before cracking Warne through the covers for another boundary.] England should change their name to Great Britain, if only to help Welshmen like me have easier lives, ... It's so tedious explaining to work colleagues how I can support 'England' in cricket and England's opposition in rugby and football.
