James, you are the spittin' image of Walter Brennan! 

I confess!  I'm an Anglophile to my very core! 

David - BBC television shows mentioned plus some others - guilty! 

You keep going back to Pictures of England to see more photographs - guilty! 

Sue - Your heart skips a beat when you see a Mini Cooper on the road - guilty!  You zone in on an English accent in the crowded mall and stare longingly - guilty!

You always take milk in your tea no matter what your American friends think.

Krissy - I do that too!  Plus non-swearing slang words as well.

My computer background and wall calendars all contain photographs of England.

Ditto to all of the above, Barbara.

You can't work out on Saturday nights if PBS has pre-empted your beloved British comedies.

You find yourself using words like whilst and signing your letters, "kindest regards," and fixing Sunday roasts,

You live in the past (last trip over) and the future (next trip over).

You've totally spoiled, sorry spoilt (lol) any past ambitions to visit any other countries apart from the British Isles.

You listen to the BBC online at work. 

You miss all the great people you got to meet there (Paul, Ron, Anna).

You think a lot about history and all the blood, sweat and tears that made England the wonderful place it is today.

Ditto again, Ruth, and Rick.  I adore Britain magazine, and just finished off a huge box of P G Tips.  I'm now working my way through a box of Cadbury Roses.  Let's face it folks, we are Anglophiles and I personally can't imagine being otherwise.

No worries; I'll lay the table for tea and start re-reading one of my Rosamunde Pilcher novels.
