Here's me pouring tea and looking vaguely embarrassed, which is about as English as it gets.
Do you especially like the people or culture of any particular country (including your own)? If so, which one, and why?

Love it! :)
I didn't realize there were so many words for the various areas.
You need a speech bubble with: shall I be mother? Interesting post.
Thanks, Linda.
I'm starting to realise there's a word (or several) for everything.
I don't think I gave the others the option.
Gosh, no I didn't know that there were words for admirers of different counties! I like the people and cultures of too many countries to list! :)

I've heard it said Americans have no culture
Me too!
I've heard that too, but don't believe it. It's probably more accurate to say you don't have one single, identifiable culture, but a mix resulting from a range of influences – but that's probably true of may other countries.
Awesome. I'm fascinated by most cultures. It's the writer in me that longs to understand the human condition in all parts of the world.
Hi Patsy - certainly didn't know the others ... I relate to 'the Anglophile' though - cheers Hilary
I've been delighted to see how lovely the Canadians are ... so Canadiophile can enter the dictionary too ...
Cheers, again - as I'm English and polite ... and embarrassed picking up free food at a film set! Love the photo - Hilary
Hadn't heard of those other terms! I love the Irish culture - probably because my maternal grandparents were originally Irish stock.
It's interesting to note both the differences and the similarities, isn't it?
Cheek, that's what you were! (even if it was accidentally so)
You're a proper celt then, Rosemary.
By virtue of birth I'm an Hibernophile, but a university placement year led me to become a Francophile and then I became part Anglophile when I ended up staying in Surrey for thirteen years instead of one! :)
