I did, actually.  It's hard to have a more British
upbringing than me without actually growing up in
Britain - I can even do some English soccer chants (a
sample - when England plays Germany: "Two World Wars
and one World Cup / Doo-dah, doo-dah!")  It was
probably the memories of them that caused me to ask if
the Wellington was a boot :-)
