A fine thing to be a Brit

[Huguenot]

Fug our international politics. we are but the sum total of our cultural product!

I kinda like it that way - it of course means that this very forum is a foreign policy tour de force! ;-)

A nice idea, Huguenot. Prompts me to wonder how many Forumites are resident outside the UK?

[Huguenot]

A request to our fine admin should be able to furnish you with the percentage of pages downloaded outside the UK.

I reckon registered users would be another issue. I suspect us funny foreign types would be few and far between.

Nonetheless, this would be but a quantitative rather than a qualitative assessment.

Admins, moderators.. what can you tell us of the international impact of our tribe's merry scribblings?

Huguenot, your fine mind is always impressive, and I agree that it would be the most accurate approach - but actually I was hoping for a set of qualitative responses along the lines of 'oh, I am -my mum lives in ED but I'm in the Hague' and so on. I crunch quite enough numbers during the day as it is!

Plus the overseas-download-count fails to consider when mikeP/sean/mockers are on holiday...

I shoulda coulda put the Pat Condell link in here, I suppose.

Fascinating article Huguenot.

'A San Francisco film critic says that in American eyes, or rather ears, an English accent instantly adds 10% to your IQ. Even Richard Nixon seems to have shared this view. On one of the Nixon tapes we hear him ruminating: "Wouldn't it be great if the British were strong enough to play a bigger role in the world. They're so goddamn intelligent."'

Yes, I always ask a failed president for good advice.
