‘The British Blog’
MSNBC’s Jeff Jarvis is linking to me as an example of a ‘British blog’ sticking up for Prince Charles. I love the idea of some American saying ‘British blog’ in that slighly perjorative way Americans talk about anything British. I’d try and type what I mean fone-etical-ee, but I don’t think I’d get very far. So if you get what I mean, you’re on the same wavelength as me, and should be very worried for your sanity. Just a shame he didn’t avail himself of the
trackback facilities.

OK, I give up: What’s wrong with calling a Briton British? Should I call you a Great Briton?

There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s perfectly fine… much better than ‘Great Briton’. There’s just something amusing about the way American people refer to us like some kind of tiny unevolved nation as opposed to the Great American Dream, that’s all. Whatever epithet you choose, the sentiment would still be the same. Please don’t take it as a criticism, as it’s certainly not meant as one! And keep up the fantastic work, I love reading your site!
