'And just like the working girl in a Betjeman poem Tony once read to me, I too washed my smalls in the hand basin of my bedsit.'

I say that makes the case that English still belongs to Brits- Americans can never write that nice. No?

Well, there are elements of this sentence that I don't think would ever come from an American. But I think that there are Americans who would construct equally beautiful prose.
