I had a prof back in the 80s who used to joke that they were both small island nations with large degree of foreign trade and a history of colonialism.
(the joke is that it's easy to find deep parallels but that they were mosly coincidental -- it was really a criticism of 1980s stereotypical takes about Japan).
I might be going on a limb here, but none of those answers save one would be interpreted as a "No" in Britain. Brits comment if you please.
The save one of those in the list is "“I will consider it in a forward-looking manner,” which feels to be me not so much as a "No" as more a "Why of course why wouldn't I take a look at at it with all this leisurely time I have but in the interim can you please just kindly fuck off please thank you very much."
