This isn't meant as a criticism Nathan, but why "Anglo-Saxon"? A
curious term that relates to southern British culture immediately
prior to the Norman invasion almost a thousand years ago. It's used
increasingly by French pundits, I notice, when referring in a
negative manner to British, or more likely American, influence and
culture. And yet American culture has, not to put too fine a point on
it, zip to do with the "Anglo-Saxons".
Cheers, P.
