To the contrary, I think people would be glad for a Bowbell translation, or a Liverpool translation, or a Yorkshire translation.

Also Memphis, Hollywood, Boston, Nashville, NYC.

Memphis and Nashville are like 200 miles apart. Why pick as your two southern cities places where the people sound so similar?

It's genuinely amazing how Americas can be so blazé about what's like half the length of my entire country.

In Britain, 200 miles is a long way.

In America, 200 years is a long time.

I actually live a stone's throw from an old Norman castle.
