I don't know enough about China to comment. I was asking for a comparison of supposed British culture to other nations that are very similar. You can't call it British if everyone else does the same, is my point.

Well, no one has managed to define what British culture is yet, apart from BA Ware, who has described something from the 1930s

So I think that people are adequately making my case for me. I am sure that culture should the be the shared traditions and beliefs, rather than diet, buildings and history. Perhaps my concept of culture is different?
