British culture (referring to the ancestor of modern welsh) selected a date in the late 6th century to start its history.

So it's much older than I'd guessed. But I still think there's something about the post-WWII period. <br /><br />The argument Waring is making is that the prime candidates for tGAM all have a certain woman-blind sensibility.
