Yes, that's correct folks. It's British people getting angry at Americans getting it wrong. But why? Why do they get so angry? And what could possibly be annoying them so much. Americans aren't British, they don't know the history, the culture and can't be expected to, right? Wrong. Brits get very annoyed. They'll let Americans know their displeasure at the slightest error they make about British culture or history.
Are you a Brit who gets angry at Americans for getting it wrong?

Erica has been vocal in the past about British TV she doesn't care for and in this podcast episode, we are finally going through a list of them! Upon recording this episode, we were worried there wasn't many she didn't outright care for but we managed to remember a few to make a big enough list! Some of which I (Dominic) think are just brilliant! But I am biased, after all...
What British TV do you not care for?

Posh people. What makes them so? Money? Accent? Breeding? The ability to wear Red Trousers and not think they look silly? In this, our latest podcast episode, we discuss the many things that go into making someone 'Posh' and what the essential ingredients are. Sometimes the poshest people are the ones desperate to look as un-Posh as they can. We also go through a list that is 22 signs that one is Posh! Hahaha! Hohoho! What-ho!
Are you too Posh to listen to us talk about being Posh?

In this latest podcast episode, we discuss Royal funerals, in particular, the events of the funeral of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and also the parallels of Harry returning on his own for it just like the Duke of Windsor returned for the funeral of King George VI in 1952 amidst controversy. The funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh had COVID restrictions so the Queen and the rest of the Royal family were socially distanced in St. George's Chapel at Windsor castle.
What were your key takeaways from the funeral of Prince Philip?

British celebrities. You might think, if you're an anglophile who watches British TV, that you know a lot of them but why aren't they a household name in the USA? Being a Brit in the USA, you expect people to know who William Roache, Philip Schofield, Gemma Collins, Joey Essex or Ant and Dec (above) are, but they don't. Never heard of them except for a scant few!
Who's your favourite British celebrity America has never heard of?

Mine and Erica's childhoods were, by todays standards, vintage. Not classic or antique, but vintage. When we were recording this episode, we realised just how vintage jellies and poppers and light up sneakers are today. Fashion, it's changed quite a bit since we were children and maybe some of you remember even earlier fashion trends than we do! Perhaps an earlier incarnation of the dreaded shell suit!
What was fashionable in your childhood?

Erica has lived with Dominic for just over ten years now and has heard him say things that she likes and doesn't like. In this new podcast episode, she mainly has a rant about the words and phrases from Britain that she could never adopt or see herself saying. Honestly, some of the best sayings ever come from the British idiom and how Erica can turn her nose up at these is unbelievable!
What's your favourite British-ism?
