Fond as I am of making connections, here’s a series of posts on various aspects of being English:
- Watching the English
- also from Kate Fox, Headline punning
- The Archers
- How to be English apud Stewart Lee (“I’m English, I’m English! Wanna make something of it?”)
- Alan Bennett on hypocrisy
- Morris dancing, with Chinese parallels
- Das Land ohne Musik
- Cunk on Britain
- A Shakespeare mélange
I also note this group of posts on intrepid British explorers:
- Alan Bennett overhears a Torquay couple in Egypt
- How to wear yellow well, with the great Ronnie Ancona
- Visiting a young “living Buddha”
- Bunnios
You can find more from Messrs Bennett, Lee, and Cunk under their respective tags in the sidebar.
