Just a note:  Two children's programs from the UK appearing or
having appeared on US commercial television (cable) are the
cartoons, Paddington Bear and Dangermouse.  The latter,
according to the Wall Street Journal about a year ago, has an
appreciation society at Oxford indicating possible camp/cult
status (or just extreme silliness) among university kids.

A friend of mine, verrry Brrritish, once remarked about the
inequity in quality of cultural exchange.  The US gets Dr. Who
and Masterpiece Theatre and others, and the UK gets Dallas.
The obvious rejoinder was, "People buy what they want to see." 8-)

While the above is a good summary, I have to take issue with the
underlined.  A richness of the Celtic Christian vision was their 
view of God as Creator and Sustainer of the natural world.  They also
were very good at re-interpreting old customs and stories in the new
light.  But that doesn't mean they followed idea common today of
"it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you believe it
sincerely" or that they were any kind of Pantheists.  Patrick,
Columba et. al. were as dogmatic One True Way-ers as anyone you'd meet
today - they were just better at discerning what it was important to
insist upon (what really was the one true way, if you like), and what were 
merely cultural differences.

Called whatever you want - secondary being the favourite, running from
12 to 16 in some parts of the country.  There are also comprehensive
schools and grammar schools (in areas where grammar schools still
exist, are the non-grammar schools called secondary moderns?)

There is a move now afoot, especially in the sciences to switch to
four year degree courses.  There are also efforts to run two year
degree courses.

Then there is the public school system, where preparatory schools

public schools.

British people will understand you easier if you talk about their
ages, given the confusion about which age ranges schools cover.  I
have never heard anyone use grades when referring to a child's age.

They'll have to make more than a few donations to some local European political party if they want to avoid the E.C. Pollution Control commission.  Britain is already in for a rough ride as one of the worse polluters in Europe.  Dumping crap into rivers which flow into the North Sea isn't exactly going to please peoples who share this water.  Under E.C. legislation the polluter pays, and that could mean the British Govt. if it fails to enforce legislation.

Well, I'm not quite sure where I read it, but somewhere I got the impression
that saying"Gordon Bennett" is an attempt to avoid blaspheming: i.e., you
say "Oh, my Gordon Bennett!" instead of "Oh, my Gord!" Can anyone cite a source

There are *hundreds* of books on Clyde built ships, including the Queens, 
here. Try writing to :

John Smith Bookshop

If your in Glasgow ever, check out the Museum of Transport at the Kelvin Hall.
The Clyde Room has a vast collection of models of just about every ship built

		Probably rather light, unless there is some special event 
along your route.  The traffic will be going the "wrong way" and moving at 
75 mph or more.  Not hard driving, but a bit of a shock after "sleeping" on 
the plane.  You will probably find getting out of the airport and getting 
into Leatherhead the biggest challanges.

You're going to *love* this.  In Canada, there is a channel called
TVO, run by the Ontario Educational Communications Authority, which
shows Red Dwarf regularly.  (I think it's TVO--it may be YTV, the kids'
channel.)  "Smeg" is a natural part of conversation where I live.
BTW, in Ottawa, on the McDonald's order pads, "Sausage McMuffin with
Egg" is given a singularly amusing contraction. :)

Reminds me of a record I had (before I lost it) of Peter Cook and Dudley
Moore duologging. P. Cook says something like "I've worked out that if
6,500,473 people died, I'd be Queen."

They also discuss the royal accolade, "a kind of fizzy drink".

   I must agree 100% with Robert Perlberg's praise of the "Fall and Rise
of Reginald Perrin". This is undoubtedly one of the very best comedies
ever to emerge from British TV. I could remember this from its original
transmissions when I was a kid, but only vaguely. Then the entire show
was repeated earlier this year and I wached it ALL. It is still
hilarious years later. We were rolling on the floor at some of the
humour in this show; and also it is very very clever too. This (and
"Faulty Towers") is one show I don't think anyone could ever emulate
sucessfully. I recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to try to! You won't
regret it.
