Episode notes

If you're going to meet someone in Nottingham, two people in Nottingham are going to meet. There's even a cultural magazine in Nottingham called the left lion. Why? I don't know. Liverpool probably more than any other city in Britain has a sort of sense of independence. And it just shows that the people really do have strong connections to their very local areas and stuff.

Special Guest Mark Steel joins me to discuss cultural and linguistic differences between the UK and France, plus accents in the UK and a little tour of some places in the UK that you don't know about. Also includes a discussion of swearing and rude language in Britain. What is the R word which you should never say in a specific part of the UK? Listen on to find out.
