The UK is also at least level 1 and gets near level 2 (which somewhat undercuts the articles points about culture, language, and colonisation).

See the BBC programme Children's Hour from 1920s-60s. The presenters were Uncle or Auntie X.

I remember the usage for friends of the parents in the 1960s
