EuroDateLots to talk about this week: Johnson and Jochen give me heat about England’s lack of World Cup progress; I complain about fireworks; the Kansas Cricks send a letter about British date format; ex-quiz guest Ed Gamble becomes a BBC America star; a 97-year-old lady accuses me of soliciting prostitutes; we marvel at the menu at British McDonald’s restaurants; and Stephen Merchant makes a case against American independence. Happy Birthday, America!

4thfireworks1Our July 4th episode! We talk about Johnson’s trip, cats, how British people feel about July 4, how different America might (or might not) have been without the revolutionary war, and all the usual hot dog and firework stuff. Later, Sam calls in to take the quiz, and tries to guess what a “roach coach” is; Johnson tries to figure out what “barmy” means.
