    You have them wrong way around.

    If England were to sink beneath the waves tomorrow I cannot think of a single thing I'd miss. Maybe BBC4.

    Fair enough but 'regular beer' has a tendecy to be total absolute muck. I don't drink 'regular beer' here either though. Belge, German and czech beer all the way!

    This. I watch the show every now and then, but when somebody you know says "Hey, we're appearing on the Jeremy Kyle Show today.", who in their right mind would say "OK, let me just get my coat!"? Although, half the people on the show are probably stoned beforehand anyway.
