275/365 Philippa,

political liberal, can’t escape her British class-system roots, will never be able to not know a fellow countryman’s background. Even here, she’ll casually drop shocking comments regarding the local hoi polloi (things most of us have guiltily thought). I rather adore her cringeworthy bluntness.

That's funny, I know someone from Britain who is exactly like this; a social worker and political leftist who somehow manages to be a defender of the class system at the same time.

I definitely have the impression that this is more ingrained than we North Americans can possibly imagine.

I have a dear friend from Britain who upon first meeting (and usually second and third) most others do not care for her very dry, very raw sense of humor. And Oh the "bluntness". Personally I find all of these great attributes!

Fun Post!

My philosophy: avoid politics at all costs!

Preston: Not the situation, of course. The post.
