Our Mission in Life We are Brits, Britons, British. Those "Devious English" say the French. Pommies, Limeys, Tommies. "Savages" said Julius Caesar. "Non-Believers " said Pope Clement VII in 1533. Cavaliers, Roundheads, Redcoats. "Tyrants" said Ghandi. "Chickens" said Hitler. "Infidels" say the Muslims. We've been around a long time......... We come from a small country separated from Europe by only 22 miles. A small but crucial sea channel often exposed to frightful weather which has saved us from invasion in over a thousand years. We are English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish, and we now live everywhere on this blue and brown ball floating slowly in space. We are proud of our British origins and of our predecessors who have contributed so much to modern civilisation. We were at one time ruled by a series of divine right monarchs, some good and some bad. Our castles and country estates bear witness to feudal ages, our cities to the Industrial Revolution which changed the world. Our history shows a gradual transfer of power from kings and queens and oppressive clerics, to the people. Secular if untidy democracy hard won in battle and in protest. It is why so many of us have sailed the seas to find a better future - and why so many nations today, the more successful nations, have adopted our English language, our arts, our literature, our political and social systems, our values. We are quiet but determined, wise but modest, often set in our traditional ways but tolerant of others. Above all we are proud of our British sense of humour - which helps a lot to offset the rigours of daily life. We like to prod the pompous in the belly and simply ignore the extreme. We are British of the bowler hat, the umbrella, the tossing of the caber, the plastic macintosh, the coal miners helmet, the fish and chips, the four day cricket match, the speakers corner, the double decker bus, the bicycle made for two, the pubs, the barristers funny wig, the pantomime, the country fair, the pier, the town hall dance, the rugby club, the birdwatchers, the London taxi, the whiskey - no ice, and the overall belief that no matter how bad things are, they can always be solved by a good cup of tea, stirred but certainly not shaken. Nobody is trying to sell you anything in The British Club Worldwide. We have no commercials on our sites. None of those banner ads or infuriating pop up things. Nobody is copying your email address or asking you to transfer millions of dollars to Nigeria. We are just a great online club of good friends - English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Australians, Canadians, Americans, New Zealanders, South Africans, Caribbeans, and lots of other nice people in this world. Now in our eighth year, we are a happy and steadily growing band of Brits, Brit Expats and Anglophiles living all over the world - behind trees, under rocks, on the beach, everywhere - in 78 countries at last count. You can get an idea of some our services and facilities below. Whether it is to inform you, entertain you, help you find friends, stay in touch with home, amuse you or make you cry - no matter where you live or what you do - you can always find what you need in The British Club Worldwide.
