Do you think? I'd have said the British would *like* still to matter, but aren't really under any such delusion. And of course, we're supposed to be *ashamed* of our past glories, because colonialism is out of fashion. We're supposed to pretend we never did anything that wasn't evil, and that most of the world's problems are our fault. (In fact I've heard that the history taught in schools is now pretty much down to Communism and Fascism, so we don't have to talk about anything so evil as ourselves.) Ian
