Cultural identity

[Alison]

I mean even our fish and chips the so called national dish began life in Portugal with their battered fish.

Alison

thought the national dish was chicken Tika Masala ?

I thought the national dish was Keir Knightley , but her name doesn't sound very english

Now she is very tasty, but slightly more my age is Emma Thompson another national institution.

Tikka Masala is our multicultural national dish

I am old enough to remember the national dish as Diana Dors.

I know the name but I'm too old to/can't remember what she looked like :facepalm:

Does anyone remember that 60s film about a young lad working in a public baths, being seduced by a Diana obsessed with Georgie Best?
" Ooh, he runs down the wing, controls the ball, he dribbles, turns the defence this way and that, he shoots, he scores; oh georgieeeeeee...."
Pure filth! :twisted:

Oh yes! partially

Nicole Kidman is a favourite of mine , and as an Australian , she must have some ancestry in England surely . She is nice and tall too , like me :facepalm:

The double entendre is about as close to "English Culture" as you'll get!
