That’s a strange concept to the gentlemen of blighty, guys don’t “walk about” trouserless, well maybe they do on “Private” land!
But whatabout north of the border?
Donald pushed the envelope, but not in Blighty.
Very condensed History of Britain
5,000 years BC Iberians came and taught us foragers how to farm.
40 AD The Romans came and went.
1600 Shakespeare’s globe opens, but burns down 13 year later when a cannon stage prop using real gunpowder sets fire to the thatched roof.
1606 the Dutch lay claim to east coast Terra Australis. Us Brits thought if we can find the east coast, claim it and the whole thing ours, and send our convicts there. haha
1902 Marmite was on the shelves.
1959 the Mini was on our roads, followed by the Maxi, the beginning of the end of the British car industry.

As for my knowledge of my country’s history, I wouldn’t say I’m an expert but definitely know enough to hold a convo about it.

I enjoy Scottish History, it’s so different to what we were taught in school (English history) my dad a highlander through n through was not amused by this, he always told us girls we were daughters of the Jacobites, and came to the school to ask why Scottish Children were not being taught the history of their country, but their neighbours. There was quite a row about it and I remember he had meetings with the Education Authority about their idea of squashing Scottish history out of existence.
He always asked what we were doing in history and then told us the Scottish version, when I reached high school the history teachers did not like me as I often challenged what they were saying, one in particular had me down as a trouble maker.
MEEEE, I ask you. 
Dad always said if both had been taught he would have been a lot happier.
My partner is a real buff on Scottish History and did it in College as an extra he enjoyed, off set it against the agricultural/business/animal husbandry he was doing.
How I ever got to 9th in our year for history I’ll never know.

My son chose to read this before we finally move to Scotland. He picked it up when we were browsing in Foyle’s. It really does seem to be a cracking introduction on the subject, when he’s finished I’m going to ask to borrow it.
