Don Firth, perhaps trying to be funny : "Enrish frute" and "didgeridon't".
Last night a school steel band, on their way to the Albert Hall, made our local news, but at least the presenter was enough of a realist to mention that they are not traditionl instruments of NE England; I would have added that, probably for a similar cost, they could have formed a Northumbrian pipe band...

213 of 230: MORE AMOR PATRIAE

There is Tai Chi AND there is tennis,

    To sense culture that is English.
