For those on my LJ list who like/love Stephen Fry, he recently spoke at length about America, his thoughts on it, Britain vs America, and all that.

Be warned, it's very very long. But as charming and clever as ever.

But don't call him quintessentially English. He's Hungarian for a start.

Blimey, he does go on, doesn't he? I got sufficiently bored I stopped skiving and went and did some work.

I'm not sure that being Hungarian makes him any less British. At least not in practice. He certainly seems to be very British at a glance. Or an extended listen.
