That, if I may say so leveller, shows the poverty of ideas that contribute to an English cultural heritage. Not indigenous music, cuisine and dress (all long gone) but local goods in brown paper bags sold by rosy cheeked folk. I remember cantankerous old buggers selling overpriced stuff from shops that hardly ever opened, lacked choice when they did and was bought by people who couldn't afford the contents. A fag and a match may be a response to a local need but I'd rather that requirement never happened.
Likewise americanisation, a dubious benefit but preferable on the whole to a shiny booted third reich with its volk songs and monumental art.
