We just absorb all the good stuff from all the people who have invaded us- except the Norman's and their language. (Well, according to Tolkien at least!)
Anyway... where was I?
Oh, yes, Dragons.
Dragons are amazing. I think
Rumil is right. Dragons are part of the essence of folklore, at least in England, that is. Also, they've always seemed to me as though they're much more intelligent than they're shown in the books. Remember, we mainly only hear of their downfalls- that's because there's someone left to tell the tale.
