Quite enjoyed my weekly reads, thanks. Some of it remains deliciously obscure to the continental reader. E.g. I'm sorry but I had literally no clue what that one was about. But after listening to a few episodes of "mornington crescent" on the web, I think I got an idea (within the limits of the possibility of understanding british culture at all). Anyway, once I have worked out what "funny caligraphic L with a bar across it that I can't find on my keyboard"4 is in some internationally tradable currency I might well subscribe. Keep going....

Reading this substack always gives me this feeling of recognition, like when the My Little Ponies go through the portal and become "Equestria girls" (basically human versions of themselves), where they're different but exactly the same. Sorry, I have young girls at home and these are the references I find myself making.

Anyway, I'm in my parallel American universe over here, not always understanding the references but always feeling a deep affinity for the message you're trying to convey. Thank you for writing this thing!
