unlikely as it may seem, there is a way in which Americans can almost attain
Englishness:


To be English is to be a gentleman, and to be a gentleman is to be English.



Imagine that.

And here I didn't even know there was such a thing as cricket hooligans?

Bob,

Having read the footnote one therein I have amusingly noticed that I was
just about to ask you what exactly you meant by "English" and what was
the difference in the context thereof between British and English and if
I may be so bold to add here - American.

Surely I should read this text in its entirety as it is undoubtedly
going to prove to be most entertaining...
