Well just because I can't explain it doesn't mean it isn't there. Lack of education on my part possibly.

I live a very traditionally English life style, it differs greatly from other nationalities I find.

Exactly - an English person will know those differences as will the Scots, Welsh and Irish yet oddly enough, they never get told the same

Re: British Culture?

This is an annual event in Broadstairs Kent. The town is taken over, free folk music in the pubs(plastic glasses because people walk from pub to pub)

http://www.broadstairsfolkweek.org.uk/

Many different Morris dancing troupes perform in the streets

Following that is the Charles Dickens festival, I have not been there for that so don't know what it's like.

We are unique, so unique that our culture changes from area to area.
When I first came to Yorkshire 24 years ago, it was totally different to the Midlands, but mainly the language.
The language is the same, but they have their way of speaking from village to village, it took me ages to completely understand my son in law.
Move three miles and they talk different again, but thankfully everybody seems to put pen to paper the same.
E.g I'll side my shopping, pull ons, and calling.
Imagine being a foreigner and touring the UK. Must be very difficult.
