Nb: Someone once asked Arthur Wellesley (note spelling)if he was Irish, since he was born in Ireland. His reply was that being born in a stable does not make one a horse! After he won the battle of Talavera, his brother was consulted regarding a good title, and plumped for Wellington, as the family had come from that area in Somerset.
    As for English music, one undersevedly overlooked English classical composer is Thomas Arne. 'The Morning' is too gorgeous for this world!
