A lot of English traditions are considered to be jokes, the BBC contribute to that by not treating traditions seriously . How many times have you heard jokes about (I keep on about this I know but its a pretty good example) Morris? If it was the tradition of a different ethnic minority (I consider the English to be an ethnic minority along with everyone else who make up the poulation of England) the bugers would be had up for racism.

I am sure that I am not alone in thinking this. (or am I?)
