so you want us to drop a tradition that has been going on since 1605 and is massive (it sounds like world war 3 outside at the moment) for a newly imported american tradition that has no relevance to anyone in the UK because someone might make moey from it?
We have Cheese Rolling over here too thats has been going on for over 200 years, no-one makes money from it and people get seriously hurt should we stop it untill there is found a way to cash in on it? How about the coronation and royal pagents? sponsorship on the crown?
Britain, Europe and the old countries have traditions that stretch back hundreds and even thousands of years that havent relied on media marketing to keep them going
