Well, Australia has a standing army, but my wife does have a mean streak. Next week I’ll see if I can offend even more segments.

You are both a Luddite and a trogdolyte. Get out from under your bridge into the modern age.

And listen to any book read by George Guidall. Or, better yet, listen to SLOW HORSES by Mick Herron. Your ass will be laughed off.

I’m in, baby! I’m gonna’ seek them out. Thanks for the advice. Anything to avoid being labeled a Luddite and a troglodyte.

Understand your issue with Aussie English. Since COVID we have watched umpteen police procedurals on Britbox and Acorn - several set in Australia. Don't know what I'd do without the subtitles!

Not sure whom you're in bigger trouble with -- your wife or the Aussies.

nope only read books I can hold in my hands. So far have finished 29 lately, sitting in coffee houses and reading. That's my jam.

Gail, that’s an excellent jam. And, an impressive body count - kudos!

Netflix has so many British police shows - it can command your bingeing forever.
