I am from the states. This is an utterly delightful bit of frippery combined with a touch of academic debate. Just fun to listen and go vote on if a thing should be enshrined in the cabinet of things that made England

So much fun! What is quintessentially... England? My country? My state? Me? So interesting to consider.

Description

An affectionate meandering through the things that make England the way she is – from HP Sauce to the Allottment, Aethelstan to the politics of Queuing. With Luke Baxter, Roifield Brown, David Crowther and Fiona Powell trying to make some sense of it all, though rarely succeeding it might be said. And when you’ve listened, join us on Facebook, vote, and tell us what you think.
