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,
    Line is fine BUT so is Morris,
There is curry AND there is the roast,
    And, when England is playing host,
It is the rest-of-the-world's good wish
    To sense culture that is English.
