Totally meaningless to non-Brits

Feb 19, 2010 16:40

And even a few Brits will be clueless, though I fervently believe a simple test of nationality is the ability to hum the theme tune.
The Archers is a radio soap opera which has been running nearly sixty years. The writing and acting are sometimes clunky, but it seeps into the DNA over a few decades...

The Archers alter ego quiz

::punches air:: Yessss! *g*

Throw your toys out of the pram and never return
Made me snerk.

It's obviously the booze, dear! *g* I hero-worshipped Lillian when I was ten. Not quite so keen now.

At least I'm not Jenny or her awful mother!

I tried the same answers but as a male and got Jim which is actually much more my hammer. I can see myself as a Jim.

Hmm. That's mildly disturbing. Mind you, which male characters are attractive these days? At least you're not Creepy Brian!

I came out as Jenny and refuse to believe it!

gillo February 19 2010, 17:10:29 UTC

That's harsh. I don't see you as Jenny either. Or Peggy.

I don't think the quiz-setter is a Shula fan, do you? *g*

a Shula fan gillyp February 19 2010, 17:14:03 UTC

Is anyone? :o)

Re: a Shula fan gillo February 19 2010, 17:33:24 UTC

I remember her as the hole-in-the-heart baby and feeling sorry for her. (I must have been very small at the time, mind you.) Her hissy fit over Alan and Usha finally put me right off her. She's slightly less obnoxious than Peggy, mind you.

Jenny... but I have lapsed my membership. Got too triggered by the Alzheimer's thread, and the fraud case.

I shall return, no doubt.

gillo February 19 2010, 17:34:12 UTC

Well, yes - it's been wise not to listen in recent months I think. A bit close to the bone for me at times too.

spikereader February 19 2010, 18:49:32 UTC

Well I've never listened to a single episode but can hum the theme tune. :D

gillo February 20 2010, 01:16:24 UTC

Exactly. Proof you're British!

katexxxxxx February 19 2010, 22:28:19 UTC

I vaguely recognize the theme when I here it, but that's about all.

gillo February 20 2010, 01:16:55 UTC

You've spent too many formative years in Furrin Parts, clearly. *g*
