Damn, major blast from past I’d completely forgotten about. Was just reminded of the Soviet Misha children’s magazine I used to read as a kid. There’s some weird programming in my head.http://www.thecitizen.in/index.php/en/newsdetail/index/9/9945/a-generation-fed-on-misha-sovietland …
You think it is fully grokked? I don't actually think it is. PGW is mainly appreciated at a relatively shallow level of linguistic wit.

“Fully grokked” - at least as well as by European heritage folks like me, I think. Although if I say that too wholeheartedly I’m contradicting my whole “we don’t know what other people are thinking” thing. Tricky business this Twitter

I think there's an important difference -- there's no ground truth to reference. For local brits, you've seen 1890s - 1920s world actually transform to modernity. For Indians, it's all books triangulating each other (PGW triangulates Christie/Doyle/Blyton...)
