• Goes from pub to posh people having an extra pimms - the same things but in a different manner
• Things like sport returned to as a uniting point for different people

• Begins with Southern accent, moves west, but multiple examples of accents being deceiving - not the same as where people are from necessarily
• Shots of flags in different places
• Social mobility
• Different scenes - city, country fete, beach
• Traditions eg Sunday lunch
• Gradually comes to people who define england as opposed to other countries
• Racism 'send them all back' - whiteness as part of englishness, people who were once subjects of the British empire no longer count
• This is followed by a woman saying she likes the fact that immigrants can find a home is England - multiple perspectives existing in country, neither more english than the other
• Where home is and how use nationality to define yourself
• Normal people not authorities
• Weather
• Goes to places where people gather - filming community
• Different ages
• Unity of englishness - north south divide
