I didn’t ever get fox but I was offered a job as an apprentice miniatures-builder on the show, back in the mid-late 00’s (for what would have been “Back To Earth”. Unfortunately, due to declining health (I’m now completely housebound and have cognitive issues, meaning I can’t work very often at all), I had to turn down the role.

I know it’s not the same. I’ve just always been quite proud that they offered me work on one of my favourite shows and I figured it sort of fit.

Why would you assume that the rest of the world is just like England?

America tends to speak English the way that it was invented. Instead of fucking it up without even the excuse of moving across the Atlantic Ocean.

Seriously. American English tends to use Georgian or even pre-Georgian vocabulary instead of adopting the latest fashionable Victorian or Edwardian terminology.

It reminds me of another joke A husband and wife are shopping in their local grocery store. The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in the cart.

"What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife.

"They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans" he replies.

"Put them back, we can't afford them", demands the wife.

They carry on with their shopping. A few aisles farther on, the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.

"What do you think you're doing?" asks the husband.

"It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful," replies the wife.

Her husband retorts, "So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price."
