Yes, I thought of you, tos_lover

You are 84% English.

You are either native and stupid, or you are foreign and knowledgeable.

"And did those feet
In ancient times,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
In England's pleasant pastures seen?"

Well, no, but it's a cracking good tune.

I'm foreign and knowledgeable, thank you very much! I also owe my 84% to a childhood filled with The Avengers, Monty Python, Benny Hill, Secret Agent, The Prisoner, and Lord Peter Wimsey.

Brush with British greatness: I once ran into John Cleese at a store in the Upper Village in Montecito. He's really, really tall and I am not.

I hit 89%. Apparently Big Ben is a bell. OOPS. And yes, it is a cracking good tune and should be the anthem.

I've never had a brush with British greatness, except for meeting the Queen and Phillip at some school thing as a kid. He talked to me and referred to Prince Charles as "Charlie". I would have much rather met John Cleese. No, scratch that, Terry Jones.

I must admit to not much caring for Jerusalem--probably because of a Python episode where they are singing it constantly. I always loved John Cleese best but Michael Palin is probably second on the list.

Oh, and I saw Patrick Macnee driving by as he left the Savoy. Does that count?
