The London Times seems to always be the aggressor in these matters. And the Gaurdian kinda cleans up their mess. So, I wouldn't go out on a limb and say that all English critics take BIG positions.<BR/><BR/>Nonetheless, MORE big positions seem to be taken up in England compared to our side of the pond.
