Del:
I absolutely got the crackling joke - I am a Brit by birth (a cockney), but left at a very young age for the Great White North. I was raised by a Brit & a Scot and still remember the fights over the crackling at the Sunday dinner table. To add to this I am married to an Essex girl named Sharon - I know the story with that one. So I am still steeped in Brit traditions.
If you made it to 58 then perhaps there is hope for me yet!
