I’ve just read my first post again and it looks like I’m slagging of the Muse and Brideshead articles, I’m not all – they were very good, I’m not that into the subjects is all. Sorry.
Oh dear, I’m being stereotypical British, all apologetic! Next post will be me apologising for being so apologetic. Will it never end…

If you want to try the accent don’t take Tracy Goodwins advice! Unfortunately most of her videos have been removed from You Tube but here’s people miming to her ‘lessons’

Is there such a thing as a reverse anglophile? As an Englishman I’m far more fascinated with all things North American. Although that’s not to say I didn’t feel pangs of national pride when reading some of the excellent articles in your section. They were mostly spot-on choices too, apart perhaps from Muse (Queen with all the fun removed) and being a working-class northerner I’ve never really been a fan of Brideshead/Merchant Ivory, perhaps toffs swanning about airy country houses with wistful looks on their faces aint my cup of char. Huzzah Popshifter! Nice to see the colonies doing so well these days
