Anyone who thinks Britain morose and humo(u)rless should compare the
writing in British hobbyist magazines with that found in American
ones. The British are almost always far wittier. Of course, they might
also tend more toward cynicism, and one might, I suppose, confuse that
with moroseness. But how could anyone ascribe a general moroseness to
a country that produced Monty Python and (saints preserve us!) Benny
Hill!!
