Straw man argument, Gary - you may think he/she thought that way, but that does not mean he/she thought that way, so your proposition is built on how you think they thought (because you may think that way), not on how they thought (because they may not think that way).

Perhaps they took as an example Lewis Hamilton or Jessica Ennis's parents, and thought they were a good example of a British family - but, as I stated earlier, it's only a problem if you think it's a problem.

I know lots of families like the one portrayed - and to me, they are just a British family, nothing more or nothing less.
