You are entitled to that belief but I ask you how many times do you see Morris dancing ridiculled? ( how many times have I taken the pee for that matter - but then I'm not English).

As has been pointed out recently many of the "traditions" of the English monarchy are in fact very recent inventions.

I still argue that people don't think much of English traditional music out of ignorance of that music. A lot of people of my generation were put off folk music at primary school and I know a lot of people who cringe still when certain songs are sung.

At great personal risk I'm going to ask what notable or extraordinary human accomplishments are you talking about Guest?
