Righty-ho, I'm wrestling the blog away from Elisabeth's sweaty little fingers. She hasn't been reading her book too much in the last few days so she's had little to rant about. I've been puttering around being the good house-husband cooking and cleaning the place (Including the flats windows - probably the 1st time they're been cleaned. Ever.) Slowly, slowly, my job will begin. I swear. Really I do.

We saw The Ipcress File last night (It came free with a magazine) and we were suitably impressed. A little dated but still enjoyable. But then, it's hard for cold war spy thrillers not to be. The reason why I mention it is that it has the most realistic example of grocery shopping in England that I've ever seen. It's absolutely brilliant. Worth the price of admission alone.

I'm going to have to find a way to edit together a video made up of clips from movies and TV shows that depict 'The Real England.' So far my video would contain:

a) The shopping scene in Ipcress,
b) The pub scenes in Straw Dogs,
c) The maypole song & dance in Wicker Man, and
d) Every single episode of The League of Gentlemen.

Scary stuff.

Anyway, we're off to the market now to revel in Woking's town center. We're out of coffee; a crisis more pressing than the whole of the Middle East.

Here's a link to entertain yourselves. Jenn, I was going to e-mail it to you and Mark but thought it was better to put it here; Sean you'll probably get a kick out it. Anyway, make sure that Markus peeps it as well.
