Thinkng about it, nothing has changed, and is summed up in a sketch by Flanders and Swan, in their production:
“A drop of another hat”. Bearing in mind this is in 1961, their sketch was about the difference about the various forms of address to this Island.“Have you ever noticed, that if some thing happens which is positive the newspapers headline: ‘Another triumpgh for
Great Britain; if anything goes wrong , it reads ” England loses again” .So, nothing changes 50 years on.

One final oddity – the English cricket team is selected by the England & Wales Cricket Board
