Britain is closer than Germany. I believe we should aim for closer relations with our Scandinavian brothers and sisters (well, some of them anyway. )

Ennui definitely has more class.

Yes, let's play all our games by Britain rules which are more polite than those crass American ones.

The Ladykillers, The Wicker Man, Nattevagten (Remade as Night Watch with Ewan McGregor). Nikita (Remade as The Assassion with Bridget Fonda but without the style of the original). La Totale (Remade as True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger throwing away most of the plot). The list goes on.

Because government funding these days is rubbish?

Can you get her to make some cookies and decorate in fun and interesting ways instead? I only buy stuff that requires child labour to produce it.
