Wainy316 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 In the mid 90's Britain had quite a cool image. I am very fond of years such as 95, 96, 97 and wish I was older during this time. These days with the proliferation of British celebrities going global I think we have a cool image in a lot of places worldwide. Especially in America (not in Australia they're already use to us). The only people who know how uncool Britain actually is is British people and anybody that is unfortunate enough to see Eastenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 22, 2013 An attempt to re-invent the coolth of Britain in the 'swinging sixties', with Oasis standing in for The Beatles. I don't think so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf the main global British act of the time wasn't Oasis it was the Spice Girls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 it really was Cool Britannia in the mid-90's, the UK was on a major buzz (credit binge in hindsight), and things were happening everywhere. That era was the best period of my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) I do think that overall, British culture is the standard by which English-speaking culture should measure itself. That said, chav "culture" isn't so cool, and neither is internet spying. Overall, two marks off from a pretty decent score. Wait! The Daily Mail! Three marks off.

tonyh29 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 2012 was the year of Cool Britannia Olympics , Diamond Jubilee ,Murry winning the US open , Johnson re-elected as London Mayor personally speaking it was probably the best year I've lived through ( all the stuff for the kids .. seeing the queen , the jubilee fly over with spitfires , red arrows ,Lancaster ,Mosquito's etc , the beacons being lit (we were sown at St Michaels Mount that night ) , Olympic flame coming through our home town , , Olympic cycling coming through our home town etc , going to events at the olympics , going to the paraolympics ) ... 2013 has been positively dull in comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I don't know, Thatcher's death has got to be up there with the Jubilee as a national celebration as well as a big waste of money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 £3m to the tax payer for Thatchers funeral was a small price to pay for finally getting her in the ground. Suggested fix. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 it really was Cool Britannia in the mid-90's, the UK was on a major buzz (credit binge in hindsight), and things were happening everywhere. That era was the best period of my life. Agreed. Mid 90's...
