At the risk of wasting everone's time with a reiteration, I must
disagreewith Dr. Merrits "Anglo" cultural generalization. Brits are
not Americans with a "posh " accent, as I learned from 4 years of
flying on exchange with them. There is much more natural cooperation
there than here in the US, paradoxically coupled with a lot more
direct, dismissive opinions expressed. Political correctness is
laughably American. (And it is...) NOONE in the UK is above average;
thisis a cultural expectation. Do you know of an American who doesn't
hink himself superior???
