According to the news sheet they display at the checkout in Waitrose one in every ten Brits is now celebrating Thanksgiving.

What!

Why?

It's not our history.

Why put yourself to all the trouble and expense of a second gourmandising winter festival when it isn't mandatory?

Hm, I think that hard it is not here (Germany), but some other ways you suspect do they have any culture of their own at all?
Mean, they import every fucking TV idea from overseas and realize it with their own personnel, there are far more American comedy series and series in general running on air than some made in their own country, and if you deal with products and big trademarks, you discover how much stuff they offer here whose origin lies somewhere on the outside, mostly overseas.
...For real, you still discover the results of the Marshall plan (for West Germany) in living matter.
