Ah, you'll be surprised how far James Bond has reached globally especially with AOL screen names, I wonder what that says.

Anyway i think if folklore in the traditional sense passes on from one generation to next then I suppose folklore interpretations are always evolving. Maybe all ancient cultures had folklore, I don't think they could communicate without them, but England on the fringe of enlightened Europe to have so? There is a thought. One the other hand we still have the Christmas tree, as an ode to viking times I think.

I think three little pigs, robin hood and such did do their job as far as being story form entertainment, but are you asking if they do the same as moral, or lawful guides? I guess the keyword would have to be lawful, as I think most ancient folklore/myths/tales served as passed on laws, governing as well as guides explaining things.

Well you may be right that perhaps Christianity and Modernity has replaced it for us, but then as typical folklore's cultures are viewed as superstitious maybe we could think about the era of superstition in England. Perhaps there was when they had their culture conscious myths and tales.
