@olywood9 I can't decide which is worse; your flagrant hypocrisy or your excruciating lack of reticence.

Let's get this straight. Meades is an insufferable pseud who uses words and turns-of-phrase that were considered archaic and pompous back when Fowler wrote "modern english usage" over a hundred years ago. He does however give good format, that is, he knows how to piece together each shot like a self-contained art exhibit. And as far as aging art-objects go, he is admittedly far from the worst of them.

@theeyeoftheduck I once tried a DFMB a few years ago. I got about 1/7 the way through it before my arteries threatened industrial action.

Love Jonathan Meades! So glad to find this channel!
-
I think he just underestimates how indifferent the British are to food - he describes it as self-loathing but there's very little self-loathing in UK culture.
The Brits who eat junk food don't hate themselves, they just don't care at all.

showing a war cemetery and saying that the British can "die" is such a dishonour for the brave soldiers who gave their life so that this guy could make this movie in English and not German!

Lindsay Anderson

Who's the filmmaker he shows in his list of examples of things the British can do?
-
he's 'missed out' machismo. We don't even dress properly in winter in this country, or (guys) wash our hands after visiting the toilet- to generalise in Meades style. He's great though, you always get style and substance watching a Meades, and it always interesting to see which there's more off.
Fuck, I think I'm gonna go on a diet, just to get this guy's approval. Seriously.
