Totally nuts in a very erudite fashion. And you do too have that stuff in England- you just haven't personally sought out your own British brand of nutcakes yet. Some friends of ours attended the re-enactment of the Norman invasion in England a few years ago- had to dress in period costume, fabric was a big issues, and they weren't even allowed to wear eyeglasses because the group hosting the battle was so hung up on authenticity. And then there are any number of neo-druids who get together and party, and the SCA has its branch in Great Britain... if you didn't spend so much time belly dancing, you too could find people with whom to argue about fabric.
Oh, and then there is the Richard the Third Society, dedicated to fighting slander and libel against the late great king- surely in York you've run across those folks. York was the only place that had enough guts to publically mourn his death.
