I suspect you only see "culture" when it is different to your own, and are blind to what is around you

Possibly you are right - of course there is plenty of 'culture' in Britain in the form of literature, music and art - perhaps it is better to say that in general our country's appreciation of 'culture' is poor compared to that of some other countries? And maybe it's tradition we don't have much of rather than culture. OK you can go ahead and quote Morris Dancing, Dunmow Flitch, Druids, Maypole Dancing, etc. but they are not traditions followed by everyone are they . I've never seen a group of British lads in a bar just get up and start singing and dancing to The Floral Dance!!! (More likely to start kicking each others' heads in)

OK - 'I've yet to see a group of British ladsy in a bar just get up and start singing and dancing to The Beatles' - and 'pop' culture' and 'proper' culture are two different things (Shakespeare was included under 'literature')
