British, Are you nostalgic for the Empire?

Cuz I would like being upper class in late victorian/edwardian england. Or perhaps some sort of provincial governor. Perhaps I shouldn't read Kipling any more.

Not at all, couldn't give a flying fig. Where is Australia and Canada anyways?? I did like the Empire Strikes back though.......

I'm not British but I would really like to have lived during the days of the Empire, the Raj for me.

I liked the victorian age because it was the time of some amazingly gifted inventors and we would not be here now without a lot of their ingenuity. In fact, many of the bridges and tunnels we travel on were made by them.

But a time without the internet? What woudl I do all day !
