Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
You're only English in your head. By any external measure you're Australian.

WAV is a naturalised Australian who has demonstrated a complete and deliberate ignorance of the richness and complexity of English culture and a total unwillingness to engage with it on any level whatsoever. Instead, he advises on how he thinks it ought to be according to his highly suspect and severely limited criteria. He remains, therefore, only English in his head, and if the external measure is actuality (as it must be) then because of his unwillingness to become a part of that actuality, he remains the naturalised Australian he was when he returned here 11 years ago, aged 30, after 27 years away.
