Scruffy and slovenly individuals at Remembrance Day commemorations...if you are going to attend please just take a bit of care about your demeanor and your appearance as best you are able :(

'Tune in this Sa'urday for the final of The Voice Twenny Twenny'. Jeez....you can blame the Americans for a lot of things....but that sentence isn't one of them.
Ha yes. He meant to put US Americans, don't want to blame all the Americas ?
Actually you may know the geography, obviously a big place but do you agree there is section where the letter "t" doesn't seem to exist - where they drink a glass of "warder"?
I read his comment as "blame" to those who pick it up rather than those in the programmes.
But still probably unfair ?

In my neck of the woods (N Yorkshire), the "t" (and a lot of other words/letters) get left out of sentences. I used to live out in the boonies a bit and one of my neighbors was an older Yorkshire farmer I would talk to once in a while.....holly cow.....that was a tough conversation to follow. There aren't very people around who talk like that anymore.

I think maybe the Boston accent might drop the t.....and well.....most of the word and just go with "wada". I'm a Washington state boy.....our speaking skills are impeccable;). I still say "crick" instead of creek though...

Extinction Rebellion.

This time last year they were disrupting the centre of London whilst the NFL was in town. I was filming with a TV crew on one of the open-top buses and a group of fans when we stopped near Trafalgar Square. They all saw the camera crew and started behaving like morons trying to get themselves noticed and covered. There is a tremendous out-take where you hear me look over at them and yell "get a bleeping job you so-and-sos." I'll leave to guess what was actually said. But my NFL producer was crying laughing at the footage - of course it never made the film but it's for sure at the front of the out-takes reel.
