Watching the English

Englishness
Does it still exist?
What kind of behaviour is it?

1. Why not “Britishness”?
“The answer is that I am searching and writing about Englishness rather than Britishness:
Partly out of sheer laziness;
Partly because England is a nation, and might reasonably be expected to have some sort of a distinctive national culture or character, whereas British is a purely political construct, composed of several nations with their own distinctive cultures;

Partly because there may be a great deal of overlap between those cultures, they are clearly not identical and should not be treated as such by being put together under “Britishness”.
And finally because people, using the term “Britishness” almost always mean “Englishness”.
