Template talk:England topics

message: I would vote for this to go, or at least to be changed considerably in content.  The topics verge on offensive caricature; they certainly present a very lopsided view of England.  If it is to be kept, I think some thought should be given to the purpose the navbox is supposed to serve.  (Also Yanks should be debarred from adding anything to it....)

message: How is that an "England topic"? I was not aware that we ate any more beef in England than anywhere else. (I'm a vegetarian by the way, so I don't eat any). I'd have thought something like Tea would be slightly better than roast beef... Mahahahaneapneap 13:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, it seems ridiculous to have that in this template. I propose that it is removed. Bob talk 10:20, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You do know that the French call us rosbifs? (Fairs fair, we call them frogs or froggies) if you would expect a reference to snails & frogs legs when discussing french cuisine (& I would) then I think roast beef sould be mentioned when discussing the English. I like it, tongue in cheek & self deprecating. I'm going to re-instate pending further discussion. MGSpiller 22:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm still not convinced that it is notable enough to be in a topic box, especially when it's such a poor page. As the above commentator suggests, there are a number of English dishes and drinks that are culturally important. I have changed the reference to link to British cuisine.

replies: text: That's a better solution than removal, I didn't look at the pages to be honest. Certainly the one you linked to is a better page. MGSpiller 19:03, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Wouldn't the History sections of these templates be better served in chronological order instead of alphabetical like the others? --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 19:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: Shouldn't this template include English law, not least becuase it is one of the most wide-spread models for legal systems in the developed world? Suggest expanding "Government" section to include "Government and Law" Dick G 03:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I have added Heraldry under symbols. I can't see it's controversial, it is a well-sized article, very related and England-specific. If there are any views you can say so here. Jarry1250 (talk) 19:42, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Addition of Heraldry 

message: Saint Alban was added to the template earlier today with the summary "in 2006 some Church of England clergy suggested that Alban should replace St George as the patron saint of England." While this is true, I wonder if this potentially leaves it open to include several English/British saints - Cuthbert, Swithun, Aidan, etc, which could become a bit unmanagable. What do other people think? Bob talk 23:44, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
