Let me now teach the British what their culture is

I posted a comment about British culture, saying that it’s 80% based on Greco-Roman values – in response to a line from Nigel Farage saying “everything in our country and culture is based on Judeo-Christian values.”

I got pushback. Even from Britons.

So let’s plunge into a spot of cultural anthropology and history:

One knows current British values from what current Britons do. Their waking hours are devoted to work, friends and family, leisure, and so on. So let’s make a starter table (with all caveats implicit about variations and exceptions):

Do feel welcome to add rows to this starter table. (We can argue more over a pint. Or over tea and crumpets.) A working template is here.
