Well, it has not only been Nazis who have wanted to invade the U.K. throughout history but then you are probably not a history buff! As for it being utopian; well again you don't seem to understand what it means. As for our little island , yes you are right it is a little island but our little island is most attractive to many and yet to some it seems to goad them to being vituperative. I take it you don't want to live there?

Well either the person who doesn't know what it means needs edumacating or the person using the word needs to stop being a twat for using such a word. Probably a bloody teacher or professor type who would use it anyway.

I only went to Grammar School so I would perhaps like the sound of the word but secretly get out the dictionary.As a British National resident in an EU country,I was speaking to a Swedish friend yesterday & said that I would be better swimming across the English Channel even for a visit since no one can get in easily any other way it seems.
