The British show Swingers!

Post by Sheryl »

I watched a few episodes a couple days ago on Sundance Channel. It wa a hilarious show, but my viewpoint on Mary Poppins has been forever changed. :wah:

And does anyone in the states watch BBC America? Have ya'll seen the notice before the shows, that states Americans should turn on the close captioning to understand what they are saying?

Really?, how odd. Prithie my dear, it is true that you find British accents difficult to understand? One must admit that we are most preturbed at this lack of cross national understanding. I must also say that we find the accents from North America most easy to understand, though having said that, they did have a show on about these chaps near the appalachian mountains. I think the term is hillbillys, they did indeed have to subtitle these gentleman as their language was most impenetrable.

I've seen shows where they had to subtitle what some American was saying too. I think it was Pennsylvania Dutch that I saw it being done for. It was on Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe, they were mining. In case anyone else might of seen the show.
