You think no one else but the English can feel like we've lost more than we'll ever know? Put that in any context, virtually anywhere in the world and put that quote to work and let me know what you come up with. Here's a few for you-the environment, war, the economy, wildlife,transportation. See? Broad concepts, taken across the board where we have lost more than we'll ever know. What's particularly ENglish about those WAV? What's particularly English about how we as a modern society fix those problems? Oh, I know-it's a Show Of Hands song! Of course they do have a song called It's All Your Fault, so I guess if we accept the morality lessons of Show Of Hand's songs then it's all your fault WAV.

By the way, I am a Show Of Hands fan, and as Phil Beer has said, one of his favorite fiddle players was John Hartford, so the country influence is fairly obvious. Oh shit, I shouldn't have said that. WAV is going to say that not only should the singing of English music sound English, but the fiddle playing should as well, which means Show Of Hands may have just gone down another notch in his book.
