It's often wise to take a look, now and then, at what other nations and cultures think of you. Being British we're bought up the think (or we were) that we represent some kind of pinnacle of cultural sophistication and wisdom, unfortunately (for us) that's a delusion! Culture is more like a landscape of peaks and troughs and our little islet is just one of many high points, probably not even the highest and certainly not at the moment.
