Peter Cook.

I'll back that one up Prof.

Was Oscar Wilde a Brit though?
|
Well, he was from the British Isles.
We have quite an elastic definition. As you can tell from the accents of the people who play sport for us... |
I'm not 100% sure, but I think he may have had dual nationality. He was from an Anglo-Irish family (Dublin born). I don't know enough about the path to irish independence. Cause Dublin was part of Britain prior to that I think.
|
do you Brits claim Jonathan Swift? Or is 'eee too Eyerish for ye?
|
I think we lay claim to Swift.
|
I like to think Stephen Colbert is our Jonathan Swift and Jon Stewart our own Alexander Pope. :D
|
Gilbert. Sullivan.
Wrapped a community-theater production of The Gondoliers a couple weeks back. |
