About Me
As you have gathered I am an Anglophile. In keeping with that I have a rapacious appetite for any and all news out of the UK. I am particularly interested in political, business and world news through the prism of UK sensibilities. And my source of choice is the pink paper, The Financial Times. My guilty pleasure is less edifying but still British – British Telly that is, and among my favorites are: Upstairs/Downstairs, Absolutely Fabulous, Midsomer Murders, Cold Feet, Blue Murder, The Kumars, Suburban Murders, Wire in the Blood, The Bill, As Time Goes By, Are You Being Served, The Office, Fat Friends, Sons & Lovers
