  Point taken. However we work substantially longer than France, our neighbours who are a stone's throw away with a similar national history, except they had a successful popular revolution. I am not saying there is a direct causal link but it forms a part of a general cultural divergence with regard to the population's relationship to the state and to authority that I believe stems from Britain's relative lack of revolutionary culture/history compared to other similar countries.
