One American, asked for his idea of a typical Englishman, 26 him as follows: “He’s a sort
of Churchillian character who goes to the pub at lunchtime on Sundays, loves a pint of beer and a
game of darts, is dependable and trustworthy, extremely 27 , doesn’t have much money but
also doesn’t care a damn about what others think of him. He believes it is everyone else’s genuine
loss not to be born English. He is a sincere, stoic type. It’s 28 to get away from the ‘stiff upper
lip’ image of him as unemotional and phlegmatic because it’s true. I love the way they 29 so
calm at moments of crisis. I can imagine a telephone conversation 30 someone says: “Sorry, I
can’t talk any longer, I’ve got to go and have a major operation.” That would be very Churchillian,
I’m sure.”
