Well on a more positive note....

We gave the world some of the best musicians and song writers of all time. For our population nobody gets near.
We gave the world some of the best authors, poets and playwrites of all time. For our population nobody gets near.
We invented the worlds most played and watched sport.
We are responsible for countless discoveries, important innovations and important inventions.

Lets not mention the empire or go near WW1 and WW2... never goes well.

As far as authors, poets and playwrights go, Ireland has made an huge contribution to world literature for such a tiny population. So I would dispute that point.

Plenty of things to be proud of if you're British. Stereotypes aside, my irk with Britain would actually be with the British media, which can be very bias.
