Thank you America!


Thanksgiving Tray

A poll of America’s top 10 gifts to Britain was announced yesterday. Pulled together by US broadcaster PBS it featured firm favourites including The Simpsons, Levi’s Jeans and The Godfather films (but only 1 & 2….). In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought I’d give thanks for my favourite gifts from across the pond. My top 10 would have to include:

- Aunt Jemima’s pancake mix – for those lazy Saturday breakfasts with maple syrup and bacon

- Alison Krauss & Union Station – the soundtrack to so many good memories

- Great TV drama: The Wire, 24, The Shield, the list goes on

Other, unashamedly low-brow favourites from the team include

Sam: "American sitcoms - I just love chilling out with an episode of Friends or Two and a Half Men (the Charlie Sheen episodes) and have complete box sets of both!"

Tom: "Steve Carrell, although we deserve thanks for introducing The Office overseas."

Lucas: "Budweiser and McDonald's Egg McMuffins. The cause of, and solution to, all of my hangovers."
