We may have won our independence, but the U.S. populace seems to have an incredible appetite for anything British. Why else would anyone put up with an automobile with Lucas electrics or put on heavy tweeds to wander about humid mid-Atlantic sporting clays courses?!? There is also a practically morbid fascination with the British Royal Family. Poor Paris Hilton has to work so hard to stay in the limelight, while the British Royals stay there just going about their daily business!
