Then there are the Quebecois - who are neither American, British, Canadian nor French, although there are times I swear they try to be all, especially the latter.

My wife's first two husbands were such, and she lived in Montreal for 25 years. The first was both a bicycling and cafe racer nut at the same time as myself - although we didn't meet until '81.

As Sir Winston said so famously, the Americans and the British are separated by a common language.

We Canadians fall (in several ways) somewhere in between.
