I think, in a way, you can see a similarity with Japan - I know most
people take the piss out of the way they take Western youth cults
and 'get it wrong', but it's a pretty similar attitude in a way
(importing your youth culture and giving it a local twist) - and
I think it's no coincidence that we're both island based trading
nations. . .
