Post by: Budgie on September 21, 2007, 16:31:10: Gordon Brown is looking for a new motto for the UK and the BBC thought it would ask for suggestions.

If you think you can contribute then have a look HERE (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/magazinemonitor/2007/09/the_friday_challenge.shtml).

I put forward:

Born free, taxed to death.

and

Post by: V8MoneyPit on September 21, 2007, 17:34:56: How about simply:
'Time to leave'.

Or, if he wants an environmentally friendly motto:
'Would the last person to leave the UK, please switch off the lights'.

Post by: Biodiesel-Bev on September 21, 2007, 22:09:23: How about -

"Britain - it's gone to the dogs"

or

"Britain - the dumping ground of Europe"

or

Proud to be British - er, actually, no!"

Suprising that we're all so negative about it - i can't think of a single, sensible suggestion.
