No, this isn’t the magical forest where things from London just pop up between the trees, it’s the MU bus terminal at UC Davis, which has magpied a few British things to make them feel more like Londoners. Also at this terminal – it’s the only place in California where it rains, there are gangs of tabloid hoodies waiting to scowl at you from a distance, and there’s bloody Boris Johnson with his pointless competition for pointless new routemasters. Authentic. Actually no, you can keep those things, we’ll just take the phonebox, the lamp-post and the bus. Cheers.
Hanging on the Telephone… do you remember when Saddam was executed, and there were those guys filming it on their mobiles? I wonder if that song was running through their minds for a soundtrack?
On that note… Happy Thanksgiving!
A particularly nice sketch, Pete. Happy thanksgiving. And may you not feel too homesick during this hyper-American holiday.
Cheers! But no, I love this particular holiday (apart from the madness of black friday of course), it’s so much nicer and family oriented, but without me worrying about not spending thanksgiving with my own family in the UK, because they don’t have it. I’ll be back in the UK for Christmas though!
