    It's British culture Richard, not cultural Marxism. Read the OP.

        I would rather hope that British culture was a little more racially diverse than that. I'm saying' nothin' about gender.

                  Not from Bristol, are you, eighth? Uncle Bob and the Pillar Box Club were in the Evening Post. I had the badge.
                  It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                        I once played second violin in one of those, if you mean 'orchestras' I was probably the chief offender.

                              .

                              ... what I enjoy most about being the beneficiary of "UK culture" is how much it is the product of our complicated involvement with the rest of the world.

                              Hence my initial list :

                              Sezincote


                              Hans Holbein
                              Georg Friedrich Händel
                              Charles Avison
                              Horace Walpole
                              Isambard Kingdom Brunel
                              Paul Dirac
                              Rudyard Kipling
                              George Orwell
                              Joseph Conrad
                              Henry James
                              TS Eliot
                              Meary James Thurairajah Tambimuttu
                              Logan Pearsall Smith
                              Nikolaus Pevsner
                              Ernst Gombrich
                              Aby Warburg
                              Hans Keller
                              Isaiah Berlin
                              George Weidenfeld





                              [ ... sorry, all boys so far . ]

                                Is it rude either to ask or know what that is?
