Enjoyed an all day breakfast dinner earlier. Sausage, bacon, egg, mushrooms, black pudding, plum tomatoes and fried bread. All sorts of perfect.

Illich is great to learn from but I think he was wrong the way he put together Orwell's Newspeak and Ogden's Basic English. Ogden may have made some extreme statements to play the press, like McLuhan maybe? But I.A. Richards was careful to explain that Basic was a tool for making more accessible, learnable, useful. BASIC and the English Through Pictures books can be an approach to (etc.) that parallels he approach to learning programming with Racket's HTDP's graded languages.

Personal fun (not really) fact about , where is now sat, eating fish and chips on the programme: It's the place in England where we were served the worst pint of Old Peculier ever. It had a creamflow head on it. Old Peculier should not have a creamflow head on it. It shouldn't have a head on it at all. No idea why northerners pour it like that. It's all kind of wrong. Changes the taste beyond recognition.

Interesting bit just then on touching on whether rich, posh, landed gentry people from the north are "northerners" in the sense of what most people in England consider a northerner. It's a problem, though, when a show hits extremes of people. You'll get well-off, posh people in Cheshire or St Helens who'd definitely qualify as northerners, so what's the actual dividing line that says yes or no? Tricky one.

is hitting the north of England tonight for on Channel 4 right now, and he's starting with some Northern Soul dancing. We've seen some properly good Northern Soul dancers on several occasions and it's a dance style we adore, with fabulous music as accompaniment. I've even been known to throw in a few Northern Soul dance steps myself on occasion.

UK viewers, Channel 4, and now is looking at what it means to be English when you're not white.

Enjoyable first episode, but programmes always are, and nice to see him touch upon the fact that looking back to the past - whether some perceived glorious, heroic past of racist England, or some idyllic, everyone at peace with nature past of traditional England - is very, very white. Midlands next week, and a far more culturally diverse England to take in. Well worth catching if you missed it.

Love the various bits we're seeing in this programme. My wife's cousin is in two Morris sides (or was, the last time I checked with him).

singing to a White Van Man from the north is what good TV is all about.

There is something very, very satisfying about a good but we've never actually done one in England. We've had some fancy ones on cruise ships, though, and would probably rate as best at them, much to our own surprise.

I think I've just seen a Wet Druid contest taking place on British TV.

Really hoping these druids put the racist defender of Dover inside a Wicker Man before the end of this programme.
