I filled out your survey! Of course, I don't really count because not only do I get the British references non-Brits don't get, I get the British references other Brits don't get!
Actually, there are loads of English woman living in Sydney. I know a depressingly large number of them. However, if she is writing fiction to post on LJ, I can guarantee she is not me.
I don't think you should explain British references. That's far too clumsy. If someone asks in the comments, then that's the time to explain. If the Americans don't get it, tough. I'm sure most of them missed the significance of Total Darkness Powder (in HBP) being imported from Peru but I thought that was one of the most brilliant parts of the whole book so "So What?"
Thank you! For being dim, I mean. I've enjoyed that one for a long time. Not you being dim, obviously, but it's nice to get some bright company in the not-getting-the-jokes department.
