Sometimes, when you're thinking about writing something and you feel like you're on to something that might make for interesting reading, it can be the most invigorating feeling in the world thinking about how you can transform scattered ideas in your subconscious into a cogent analysis on the written page.  However, sometimes you can find something that preserves you from that process disappointingly, but with greater succinct grace than you could ever hope to achieve. 

It is with this in mind that I share with you a link to one of the greatest authors of the 20th century, and his fantastic musings on the topic of being English, he says it better than I ever could and leaves you feeling as though his words have opened your eyes. 64 years ago but could have been written last week...
