i think bill bailey got pretty close:
"We have strong prevailing south westerly winds. 52% of our days are overcast so as a nation we're infused with a wistful melancholy, but we remain a relentlessly chipper population. Prone to mild eccentricity, binge drinking and casual violence. Breakfast is served 7-9."

i was addressing you. bill bryson is utterly mawkish about britain and most of what he said in the vid is bollocks, but then so is your rant.
I've been living in london on a modest wage for years and have a great time, so I thought I'd add some balance to bryson's indulgence and your bitterness.

errrr.... not sure who you are addressing with that comment
i left england, and i am not so sentimental about it.
if you were agreeing with me, then yeah!

jesus, turn down the sentimentality. england's not all that.
In reply to this comment by MINK:
as another englishman who left that ridiculous island... i can say this is bollocks.
you need a LOT of money to like the UK...
...maybe the kind of money you would get if you wrote a cozy book about how great the UK is.
ok so people DO apologise if you hit them carelessly in a crowded place, big woop.

That's a great point - I had wondered who Katie Couric was.
Perversely, I'm fairly sure this is the same version originally aired, otherwise I'm not sure how the American edit got up on YouTube so quickly. This copy was published pretty much the day after I watched it on tv.
You've got to expect some pandering to an international audience given Ricky Gervais's popularity, though. I didn't feel that it was any less aimed at the home audience than earlier stuff.

Interesting that this has been edited from the original BBC version I watched.
Katie Couric = Kate Adie
American Idol = X Factor
They have obviously dubbed this version to be more understandable to an American audience. That kind of pandering to American tastes displeases me.
