I'm sorry you feel the need to retract my nationality.

It was a joke, by the way. There are some hardcore free-market libertarians here really who do make criticisms like that. Isn't monotone sarcasm just as much a part of Britishness as the BBC?

It is, but you have to laugh out loud after you tell a joke to make sure everyone knows it's a joke.

There was something about that in The Name of the Rose- the book in any case. Something about how Englishmen and Germans react differently to a joke etc. I'll see if I can find a quote.
