(Flicking through the TV channels last night/new year's eve, I saw plenty of traditional Scottish culture but hardly any trad English cultrue; Tony Blair, born in Scotland said, "We don't want a return of English nationalism", and, accordingly it seems, we English are not allowed to have our own culture either.) Poem 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.
