Sorry, I just don't buy that....just what exactly is this missing Britishness that people who make facebook memes like this yearn for?
Is it cloth caps, whippets and ferrets. Chatting over the garden fence in hair net and curlers? Is it men in tights saying 'alas poor Yorick'? Is it blokes with funny hats made out of bearskin stood in little boxes? Is it port and cigars for the men while the women withdraw to the drawing room?
