Phlegmatic, stiff upper lip, sang froid, restrained. All phrases used to describe the British character.
Yet starting in the 90s (with Diana's death) I noticed that things had changed - the classic response to disaster (real or potential) has now morphed into wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Imagine the panic if we faced something equivalent to the Blitz now.
Have we become too gay and feminised? Listen to old queens like CyberCock too much?
