Wombat's dictionary is 1969, mine is 1986 and the one British person who doesn't use alright is younger. If I wanted to jump to conclusions, I might say that it's like we were acquiring accepted use of it over here, but under American influence, are now losing it again. Meanwhile, smwright is complaining about it entering American English. *g* Got to love the irony, if that is the case.
