I've read widely from the anthology of English verse, I keep fit with lawn tennis, I enjoy pottages, I attend folk clubs and festivals (as you know, first hand), my own repertoire of songs and hymns is English or, at least, leans very much that way...

I've never read from the anthology of English Verse, never played lawn tennis, don't even know what a pottage is, and my repertoire of songs is drawn as much from the English speaking folk song traditions of America, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Northumberland etc. as it is from England. I only sing hymns when I attend Roman Catholic Mass with my Welsh-born English wife, where I might also sing Gelineau Psalm Tones and Plain Song if I'm lucky. And to what extent are Folk Clubs and Folk Festivals (as American imports) uniquely English I wonder?
