British Air Magazine on...the British

On our British Airways flight to Iceland we discovered a wealth of blog-post-worthy segments in the complimentary (I hope?) in flight magazine. The following was written by Tim Dowling who moved to England from Connecticut 17 years ago. He picks up several things we’ve noticed, obviously with more humor and insight then we could give…








I wonder what our growing British readership thinks of all this??

This IS funny! I remember a friend of mine living in England for a period of time and her address was 3 The Quillot, Foxmead. I mean, we loved that. I actually wrote more physical letters than email to her, just so the postal service would see that I knew someone who was living at The Quillot.

Very funny article, but I think you guys sell yourselves short. You absolutely COULD write something equally entertaining! In fact...you have! Come on, what was that entry about mole snacks or something? Now I forget, but it was something strange one could purchase at the grocery store. Now THAT is comedy!

Also, for more dry humor, have you read The Know-It-All? One of my favorite (or favourite) books. AJ Jacobs (the author) just wrote a new one called The Year of Living Biblically which looks fascinating as well. I mean, he literally lived the Old Testament for a year. The OLD TESTAMENT. Can you imagine.
