Assignment:Glorious moment in the history of Britain.

Isn't that a british maxim, **** the frogs?

Fixed.

Self censoring is incredibly annoying. If you feel insecure about using naughty words, then use something else dammit.

How about one of the many days the English were bombed all to hell by the Germans but their morale and resolve held strong?

Yeah, I prefer the British when they are cowering in their basements. 

That's strange, I prefer the Germans when we utterly destroy Dresden 

Beat you to it, but still worth quoting for the whole 'This is a knife' sentiment of it

How about the fire-bombing of Dresden?

edit: Bastards! Beat me to it!

@Archensod:  Nice suggestions, probably the founding of the Royal Society is a good idea, really, and encapsulates a bunch of those great thinkers.

 

[Gunrunner]

The Cod wars? 

 

[Amagic]

The battle of Trafalgar, write specifically about Nelson's charge, it was bloody awesome.

 

[Justiciar]

I'd go with Aqtai's suggestion; the Putney Debates. Little known, and a failure at that, but a glorious one all the same.

 

[Lord Burgess1]

Creating of the Church of England, various inventions, my birth etc. etc.

 

[Sir Saladin]

Write about Captain Henry Morgan and privateering and piracy and how Blackbeard got killed by the Royal Navy, those are the glory days that will never return. There won't be a dry eye in the house after you describe how Blackbeard after being beheaded and thrown into the ocean still managed to swim around the ship several times. Iron men on wooden ships.

Battle of Mons Graipius. Or, if you're going to hate on the soft Mediterranean-folk, Poitiers.

Opium Wars would be hilarious, or the Great Expulsion. Battle of the River Plate was quite sexy British.

Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish Armada.

Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish Armada.

Pretend that Johnny English was real and write how he saved the throne.

 

[Flanged]

Peterloo Massacre.  You can finish up by throwing a desk through a window.

Technically we didn't sink many ships, don't blame us, blame the weather and panicky ****ty Iberian commanders.
