In all truth I believe the number of 50% is very low, and Readie we ain't bound by @@@@ .There is aught, blank, bottom, cipher, insignificancy, love, lowest point, nada, nadir, naught, nil, nix, nobody, nonentity, nought, nullity, oblivion, ought, rock bottom, scratch, shutout, void, zilch, zip, zot loyalty to the UK
I'm almost 60 ,served nearly 10 years in the Canadian Forces am quite aware of the heraldry and such that the squadrons I served with yet I look around at my long time friends and about the only thing they care about the UK is Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc . Plain and simple the UK don't matter to the run of the mill person here anymore then France or EgyptAccording to you. You try walking into any returned service organisation in Canada spouting that. Oh, I forgot, those are the small minority that do. .

History is acknowledged but its different history with different influences. The sports played here are not the same Cricket is not played unless you are from SE Asia or the Carribean, the media is different the food is different . I can't even think of a person I know that eats mutton you have more chance of eating moose or venison .Really? I still find it hard to believe despite what you are saying. That's sad not to acknowledge your history. It still doesn't alter what John wrote though. Even a love for British Rock Music counts, maaan.

Some people think that we Colonists kicked the British out because of such things like "taxation without representation", heavy handed governing, religious reasons and so-on...Not entirely, we gave the colonies ( including your America) stable governing and democracy.
The commonwealth have had their chances to 'boot out the British' Monarchy and chosen not to.

Actually, we didn't like the Tea...

Democracy will never die so long as we can have a nice cuppa tea!
Ha Haa! I remember when I worked in the UK, the guys I worked with had tea breaks all the time; a group of them dinged the rudder of a Spitfire because they all rushed off for a tea break without chocking the wheels!
'Tea breaks' have kept the wolf from the door for generations Grant,
Shame about the Spitfire though...must have been a coffee lover at fault
John
Hee hee! I remember starting there for the first time and walking into the crew room and sitting down, then having them just stare at me and say: "Well? Aren't you going to put the kettle on?"
The Spitty still has a ding in its tail to this day! One national icon forsaken for another!
Ha!
Just imagine if coffee wasn't available in Europe during WWII...not a single G.I. would have showed up for the fight!
So it looks like Coffee helped save the Tea, doesn't it?
