I think people forget culture is only ever an amalgamation of other cultures anyway.

There is no "English" culture.

So presumably, these other cultures we're an amalgamation of, are not cultures either.

They're cultures.

Are they strictly [insert nationality]? Not at all.

It is kind of funny for people to get precious about aspects of our culture that have a) not disappeared and b) are not exclusively English. It is just evolving, as it always has done, and will continue to do so.

How so?

If you're not going to actually say anything there's no use responding.

Why do people take criticism and opinions about much wider themes and ideas personally? Critiquing the way we think about culture and it’s downsides isn’t a personal attack on any individual British person...

Most definitely, we lead the World at that, certainly the complaining.

So, so far British Culture is:

Fish & Chips
The Big Light
Cats Mother
Complaining


Anyone anything else to add?

And we still have each and every one of those things so British culture is still here.
