i got a kick out of Bill Bryson's insight, from an American's point of view, into England in Notes from a Small Island, particularly his ditty regarding the vast difference in the Tube map's depiction of London versus the actual geography of the city. i found it to be very true.
i am absolutely crazy about The Office. i watched the entire first series on DVD twice when i was house/dog-sitting at Rach's week before last. and then, on our van tour to Stonehenge/Salisbury/Bath, we actually drove by the town of Slough. i laugh to myself just thinking about that show, it's just like every office i've ever worked in. you must see it. again, love that BBC. and it's even better in person.
