The Brit invasion

A couple of weeks ago I went to see Rain on Broadway, a great tribute to The Beatles that took everyone back to the time when all you needed was love. It was so infectious that it put me in a British state-of-mind. So here's my little homage to the land of crumpets, afternoon tea and fabulous Queens and Kings. This royal trend of using the Union Jack motif in home decor has been around for some time — and as we can see it's still going strong. My guess is because it evokes nostalgia and memories from wonderful trips abroad. It's all so abso-bloody-lutely cheeky!

It's certainly never been the land of afternoon tea, crumpets and fabulous kings and queens.
You're talking about London. And one tiny part of it, at that.
The real England or Great Britain is a land divided by class and poverty. crime and deprivation.
Parts of the North are like a throwback to the thirties.
Please can you let Americans know what the real Britain is like

I do indeed like the flag on the wall on the first picture. Bold and beautiful!
