Shadows

... is a mere shadow of its past If we had to offer up what was, in our opinion, the epitome - the summit - the climax of western culture for the benefit of our ... words fail me here and I rely on my innovative linguistics - our comglobulates, from lands beyond our own shores throughout the globe, WHAT CAN WE OFFER THEM?

[StreetCowboy]

Obviously, as I have said elsewhere, the Clangers, and haggis, as the only credible alternative to food.

And, getting a bit topical, royal marriages and pearly queens

...."is a mere shadow of it's past". This statement would be presented with such assumptions that the Western civilisations had acquired a pinnacle of all existences?

There are circles that would suggest that European-clad cultures had never attained such heights as the illusion might promote. World historians could easily testify that the truer influence and contributions to civilisations, historically, by Europeans would be embarrassingly way down on the list.

So Occidentalism has come full circle, has it? Dying....

The Barclays' Premier League, obviously.

Britain's most successful cultural export ever - possibly more widely recognised than Scotch whisky.

What a load of piffle.

Technology shrinks the World.

One day we will all be homogeneous and be looking to escape the dying Earth for a New Beginning...

Sorry, I'm digressing into the aspects of Western culture that seem most attractive to people of other cultures...

What's the future King think he's doing blushing on the balcony of Buck House......he should be flashing a huge grin and offering a Sid James wink to us all!

Another opportunity missed.....although the Aston Martin did add a bit of fun for the yanks.

Too Eurocentric for my taste.....

The future is a bit passe, now; a bit 20th century, along with Flash Gordon...

As Scott Adams said "the future will not be like Star Trek...",

The choice for people like you to leave.

That's a bit cryptic, even for me.

Its posts like these that remind me of the dangers of morning drinking, the need to consider which way the sun lies for our overseas brethren

I suppose having the right to choose is fortuitous enough for some.

This is all a bit Patrick McGoohan for me.

Be seeing you!
