I'd have to agree on the Battle of Britain 1940/41.
Churchill was a great motivator and leader.
Britain today is a hollow shell of it's former greatness.
Bowing to political correctness and labour whining.

Kinda like America.

Depends on your viewpoint....

If you are poor and sick....1948 onwards, with the introduction of free healthcare.

If you are gay.....1967 onwards....because we stopped locking you up.

If you live in the one-third of the world we subjugated.....when we stopped ruling you.

For me, personally....the mid-80s....before we got crack cocaine, and before 15 year old kids could get a gun as easily as ordering a pizza....

Before 1066, when we were British, if we ever were!
