"Wild swimming" is apparently becoming popular in cold, polluted British waterways. I did notice that Griff Rhys Jones seemed unusually keen on swimming in any murky brown stuff in his recent TV series about British rivers. Odd people.
Steve, I read your blog regularly even (especially) though you're Oz like my dad. Yanno, I get fed up with generalised anti-Brit remarks. Even if you don't mean *me*, it feels as if you just said something cheap, and the Oz part of me is embarrassed for you.
Heh. On reflection, I guess you can live with that. :)
I'm sorry Anne. Of co I say entirely seriously, but it's true that it even surprises me how much of what passes for British culture annoys me now. That's my real beef with the place.

ReplyDeleteI don't know what happened then - it was supposed to read "of course your shouldn't take all of what I say entirely seriously.."
ReplyDeleteTsk tsk tsk. Whatever happened to good old anti-Americanism?
ReplyDelete'S OK, Steve, I wasn't taking it personally. Just had a bad day and felt like venting.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is crap, mostly. We have to make the best of it.
