U.K. of course Eric. Go back to your world of deep rooted cynicism, and don't slip on the ice and bruise yer bum (well, could knock some sense in you) ...

Ok Gayle .. feel an outline forming here .. could start off with the varying periods in history (Stuarts, Tudors, Victorians, etc .. costume delight), then moving on to the black puddings (hot pot if you insist) and jellied eels, yorkshire puddings throughout the different counties later. What a variegated country we are.

Maybe, finishing up with that wonderful scene from 'My Fair Lady' at the Ascot races ...'Every Duke and Earl and Peer is here' (could use Zara's horse .. will probably be better then.. LOL) .. all attired in Black and White. We have the best theatre in the world ... eeew ...maybe could do Shakespeare's plays too in some form.

Who needs Sebastian .. get back to the Lords sir ... LOL
