Diversity

 

I really like the diversity of England – we have so much fantastic rich history but we also have such modernisation and it’s all combined into one culture and that makes England really special.

Paul Drinkhall

Pride

The best thing about being English for me it putting on the kit and proudly wearing the three lions on the shirt, on my chest.

England is a very patriotic country and to be able to represent your country at anything is fantastic. I just hope that I can make my country proud and get some more medals and results for England in the future.

Rajiv Ouseph

England’s No1 men’s singles badminton player

The Weather

Surprising, it’s when I come back and see the weather. I know it can be very indifferent sometimes but it reminds me that I am home and it’s something I am very use to and comfortable with.

Sometimes when I go away, I’m not used to the climate so look forward to coming back to what I’m used to.
