And I tend to disagree in that culture is an ever expanding/contracting blob of stuff that feeds off itself and other cultures constantly, some cultural aspects become Lindy and prevail, others don’t. In terms of perception we have our individual, immediate time and space and we can interpret that how we like.

Whatever cultural space I exist in, it’s so massively influenced by a history of human movement and interaction some of which could be ancient and unique to this piece of land but most of it not, it’s a mashup of stuff, even in the most ‘traditional’ of British settings. What it is/isn’t has evolved over 1000s of years of contractions and expansions. It’s as British as fish and chips.
