As I said on another thread, if you`re British you`ll get it but if you`re not, you won`t.

Some of the more recent TV references didn't make much sense to me ('cos I'm an old fogey) but there were plenty of things which the majority of foreigners would understand (e.g. James Bond, Mr Bean, etc).

Well, if we're being criticised as 'racist' that balances quite well with the accusation that it was 'too multicultural'!

In its review of the ceremony, Nice Matin described David Beckham as 'the Spice Boy of English football' ! Victoria will be pleased.
