I rather think that the point I was making is that they (the English) prefer to promote selected parts of BRITISH Culture and belittle their (English) own culture - I don't suppose you will find many English themed pubs in Ireland but this place is stuffed with them. Now if we we're talking British culture - I'm all in favour of total integration and promotion but (and I'm in danger of repeating myself here)what is being promoted as English is essentially American pop culture. We don't celebrate St Georges day because that might offend people - but we celebrate St Pat's and Burns night - which is becomming increasingly popular (often without a Scott in sight). And that is great, I also think we should celebrate Ramadan and Dwalli (Sorry about spelling)but at the same time we should be promoting English culture and not this high culture rubbish which is expensive and appeals to a well off minority. Remember I am Irish and it I still think it is a shame that the Engish can't even recognise their own cultural heritage (by and large) and I resent the implication that I am a facist, Mr Stephens!
