Bits of it are (or more accurately bits of the population are). Depends who you hang around with. The garage where I used to have my car serviced had hunts go past there.

If you look at the number of hunts in East Anglia vs the south west, midlands or north west, it's nothing like the same number. And when you consider the population differences, it's even more stark. There's hunts in Suffolk, sure. Just not as much as lots of the rest of the UK.

Also, as an addendum, describing people who hunt as "toffs" sort of doesn't work very well once you've actually known the people who do it. 100 years ago, it'd have been an vaguely accurate assessment, but nowadays it's pretty hard to argue. A red jacket does not a landed gentleman make.



You Brits are so quaint and civilized. Here in the states we're still debating the legality of hunting humans who wander into a gated subdivision.
