They like to muse about "simple" lives but are terrified of even the chance of ever having to live one like that. They get very defensive about their colonial treats, don't they?
A related sort of colonial is when people get super defensive about how their food is perceived and then invoke the magic of curry and how great the curry is in their decaying imperial core... which may possibly be true but even by their own admission it is because of former imperial subjects relocating to the imperial core to make curry for the jellied eels and beans-on-toast people.
