Maybe Cymru needs to do something similar?

My five ‘objects’ for a #AVeryEnglishChat

1) The best of the countryside and built environment;
2) Back gardens;
3) BBC Radio;
4) The NHS;
5) Tea.

I don’t know why these were the first five that came into my head and I’m sure I’ll think of others that feel better.

This is an amazing idea and if people from every part of society and political leaning contribute, we can create something tangible to bring our country together. #averyenglishchat

So pleased to support #AVeryEnglishChat - at a time of division, by bringing individuals & communities together to share their own reflections on national identity, we can discover far more compelling & inclusive stories of who we are & who we can be 👇

Was reading about A Very English Chat today, a campaign to identify things that represent the diverse nature of modern Englishness. Here's my 5 choices.

1. The pork pie.
2. The band XTC.
3. Village cricket in beautiful locations.
4. The Lake District.
5. William Wordsworth.
