Thoughts for the day

Gordon Brown wants us to to have a British Day - and as my birthday is St George's Day I want it to be that day! He also says we should fly the Union Jack in our gardens just like the Americans do. What do the Brits looking at this think - and do the Americans really all fly the Stars & Stripes in their gardens?
Secondly - the introduction of Civil Partnerships makes me ask what about titles? Why doesn't David Furniss get a title now that he's 'married' Sir Elton John - when a woman would get to be called 'Lady John'. If two women enter a Civil Partnership do they both get called 'Mrs'?
Thirdly - now that we've hounded a whale to its' death in the Thames and there's to be a cull of grey squirells what does this say about the traditional British love of animals?
Makes you think really.
