In my opinion the only ones that march more funny are those damn commies like the Russians and the N. Koreans with there modified goose steps.

The British are more than capable of being able to deal with combat situations. The British march is a march, the U.S march is a walk. Can a U.S officer ever be so much as a prick to say; "Alright, lads I'll save you the walk. I'll march you there!"
If our lads can still fight on the field then it doesn't matter how we march. We've always marched like that and we've owned over one third of the planet! SO THERE!

Alright now, everybody sing!
"Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves..."
It still looks silly. I know.
(And before the inevitable comment comes, no. Kippers don't march one bit better than we do. )
But like Adler says, it's far from the worst march around.

It looks very silly. Hey maybe that is why they lost the war for independence. The officers were worrying so much about weather the march looked good and the soldiers were more preoccupied about how dumb they looked marching like that.

The British March does look silly.
CC, at least British troops march in the right direction unlike the Italians.
Funny you should say that, Adler, the Commandos landing on Sword Beach were ordered to shave and shine their shoes before landing. No enemy can beat a unit as smart as our Commandos! That's the reason...and they did win, god damn it!

I think the wierdest bunch I have seen is an Italian mob who play bugles while they run instead of marching, I know the Royal Gurkha Rifles is a bit on the rapid side at 140 paces a minute but at least there not trying to play music at the trot, christ the noise these running bugle players make is bloody awful.
The Gurkhas are very quick! And excellent fighting soldiers too! They also have myth surrounding them and have scared a lot of British opponents in the past - the most recent I have heard of is the Argentinians. My dad was watchin' a load of PoWs coming by and not being too sure of the Ghurkas.
The sick thing is, we've only just made it legal so Ghurkas can become British citizens! They allow Arabs in who haven't done anything for the nation but they didn't allow Ghurkas in who fight for us.

Oh I tell you something funny that happened in the shop two days ago - this guy comes in with his partner - made Julian Clary look like Vinnie Jones, and proceeds to pull out all these tight pink little t-shirts and skimpy little cut down denim shorts, still reeking of scent and amyl nitrate.
"Um...right, okay, we can dry clean these if you like, but you're probably better off hand washing them."
"Oh, (camp flick of hand) who has time for that! Put them all in!"
A ball of white hot laughter welled up in my throat, and I hope he didn't see me bite it back, to hold on to the friendly neutral expression.
I knew I just wasn't going to keep it together, so with an enormous effort I managed to say "Can I just hand you over to my assistant - I've just got to take a call."
Legged it out to back yard behind the shop where I lost it for two minutes.

Egads, Med, I don't know that I would have been able to hold back my laughter. I guess you see all types in that business.
