Rule Britannia

I don't feel as patriotic nowadays as I used to, but not wishing to appear xenophobic or anything, I've always had a love of this image of Britannia on the back of old pennies- hence this one, from 1916, which I carry in my wallet.
I just think it's a beautiful image and it's a shame we don't see it about more these days.
Maybe it's a fear of raising up issues of our colonial past?
It's a shame there doesn't seem to be alot of pride in Britian today, or at least that's my view.
Each to there own....that's my rant finished! lol ;o)
