We may not win very often (its not never, its just not often)! Does that mean we should stop trying? NO! And we are 8th in the medal table out of 200 plus countries!
And have you seen actually how small Britain is? You have 5 times as many people in the States! 60 million to 300 million!
I bet the person who said "people who say that it's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts are losers" was an American!
I defend our right to lose!
Does that help in the transatlantic understanding of our funny country?
I think your natural diplomacy and peacemaking really kicked in here! After all you're living in a place where Eeyore's "It's gonna rain....just see if it doesn't..." holds true much of the time ;-)

Love the blog:)
OK. So the Brits had another good weekend at the Olympics. 3rd in the medal table (for now) IS hard to argue with!
