my week at the movies: nothing

I’m in England. I’m too busy sitting in pubs and flirting with bartenders with cute accents to go to the movies.

Although… I might try to see either Creation or Dorian Gray, which are new in theaters here. You’ll hear about that if I do.

share and enjoy

Please don’t call our accent ‘cute’ – American’s often say it and we tend to find it patronising. . .

She said the bartenders had cute accents. She didn’t say Brit accents are wholesale adorable. We can’t even 100% assume the bartenders were British. Maybe they had Scottish accents, or something else.

Anyway, better to have your accent thought of as “cute” than “stupid and uneducated” (like a lot of American accents)

And while you’re at it, please stop talking about how smart and handsome English men are, MaryAnn. British modesty can only take so much…
