Well, I've Been Accused of Worse

I've been called an Anglophile more than once.

Jane Austen might have started it with her novels.  Possibly it was Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice (the good 1995 miniseries, not the overly condensed movie, of course).  Or perhaps it was Patrick Stewart's voice on Star Trek TNG.  Whatever the hook that lured me in....there has always been a pull to the UK. I could almost live on BBC and BBC4 television.

My favorite compliment from a Brit? "You speak well for an American. Oh, and you have really nice manners." Well, thank you sir.  I think.
