Why is every IMSA, Indy Car and F1 race always a mandated Brit announcer event? When those guys start screaming at a race start, close call, crash or whatever, they sound like little girls with their hair on fire. Luckily, I have a MUTE button for their screeching.

I don’t know but I’m with You ! The Mrs. Can’t stand it either. What drives Me Crazy is the way Brits misspeak with the HondER, ToyotER !!! They think they are the best at everything !!! Just because they create the mensa intellectual club with their stupid ideas don’t make them a rocket scientist...

I was dating a Brit who was always complaining about American Grocery stores and other stuff. One day I asked her if they were so good then why did We kick their asses in the Revolutionary War ? She had no answer for that question.🤪

She owned a Bar and Grill in North Little Rock and had Brit food that people didn’t particularly like. She wasn’t making any money and I told her to let Me run the Kitchen and Menu and I would make her $$$ at lunchtime. I started making Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and a vegetable, CFS Dinners, Pot Roast, Fried Chicken, Fried Catfish and for the first time since she owned the place it made a PROFIT !!!

Hmmm, okay. I happen to like the Brit announcers.

I was stationed in England for nearly 2 years back in the day, and learned to enjoy the Brits' distinctive speech characteristics and idioms.

Yes, they can sometimes emote on such things as live sports and some comedies, however their speaking typically contains an understated side, which I learned to appreciate.

Silverstone is a great track, btw.
