I just tuned in to observe the latest developments, noted WAV's response to my query regarding the nature of English culture, and was rather astonished to learn from WAV that, until quite recently, the English came from nowhere else and have always sprung out of good English soil, spontaneously, not unlike mushrooms!

Amazing!!

And that "mass migrations" didn't occur until just fifty years ago!

Well, now. . . .

I note that lady penelope pounced on this well before me.

Really, WAV! I believe you claimed on some post awhile back, in an attempt to lend weight to some of your bizarre assertions, that you have diplomas, certificates, awards, knighthoods, and Nobel Prizes in anthropology.

Excuse me if I tend to have serious doubts about your claimed credentials.

It's patently obvious that your knowledge of anthropology--not to mention your knowledge of history, well known by any school child with sufficient alertness to stay awake in classes--is more than just a little deficient.

Either that, or you have a few wires seriously crossed!
