I've read widely from the anthology of English verse, I practise English hymns and songs, enjoy watching English folk-dancing

1) Most real English people, whatever their ethnicity or country of origin, couldn't give a shit about any of the above. This doesn't make them any less English. I know Americans who know more about English poetry, folk-dancing & folk song than I do. Does this bother me? Not in the slightest, because like most real English people I regard folk as a barely significant aspect of English Culture; an enrichment to the few perhaps, but I can go for years without crossing paths with another folkie in real life.   

2) I didn't say you were Australian, WAV - rather that you're a naturalised Australian, and all that entails culturally and personally. I have no problem with this of course, nor do I have a problem with you being here, but I do have a problem with your persistent pontificating on subjects you have no understanding of whatsoever and your resolute unwillingness to learn anything beyond your entirely erroneous & risibly simplistic conclusions.

For fuck's sake man - live and learn!
