The English appear to be just as patriotic as the French, German and Dutch. However the French drink French beer and wines, eat French cheese and buy French made cars yet we English buy nearly everything from abroad!
Are we not as patriotic as other nations?

About Us
- The English Store Blog
- The English Store was the creation of Brian Dash and Paul Green who came up with the idea in order to promote English made products and English produced food and drink, as amazingly there were no such sites anywhere on the web.
On the right hand side you will see a list of all the categories that we cover - please browse and click on any of the topics that take your fancy!

St George Cross flag - is it correct to use it when it could be associated with hooligans, rioting football fans and extremist political organisations
The aim of the english store is to promote English made goods, products and services.
We have sometimes had feedback about whether we should be using the cross of St George flag as an emblem due to the above connotation.
We believe it is about time that this "image" was reclaimed as a viable and honest representation of the good things about England; as the stars and stripes flag is for the USA.
Our intention is not to make a political statement but to support the patriotism that we feel exists in our nation.
What do you think?
