] Date Posted: 18:19:25 01/06/05 Thu In reply to: Ed Harris (London) 's message, "Whereas..." on 18:10:48 01/06/05 Thu "I would say that I am European by race and geography only. I don't think that there is a European culture - rather lots of cultures which, through proximity, have more in common than they do with cultures which evolved far away. A Spaniard has more culturally in common with a Dane than he does with a Thai, but this does not mean that he has the same culture as a Dane. " I don't think there is either. But I think it is mythological to talk about much of a Commonwealth culture these days, if it's there it's insubstantial. British culture? Well they've tried their damndest to create one... but all I see is a BBC which fills its comedy shows with anti-Welsh jokes, and stereotyped Scots, not to mention various English "provincials" being similarly portrayed in the media.
