Bank holiday Monday
Yet another bank holiday. This country loves to close its banks on Mondays. Trying to figure out which other establishments opt to remain open on bank holidays is always a headache-inducing gamble, which means that I designate every bank holiday as a day for remaining in my pyjamas and not doing anything more complex than slithering from the bed to the TV downstairs.
British people, for some reason I am not able to pinpoint, are unbelievably hilarious and adorable when they mimic (North) American accents. I think it might have something to do with the sudden, jarring flatness their voices need to acquire (the Southeastern accent, like Cockney, is quite singsong), but everything sounds so much more morose in British-cum-American. It might also have something to do with the fact that they say the dumbest shit when they affect the accent - phrases they consider to be stereotypically (North) American, such as, "Can I have my eggs over easy?" or "Check out my sweet new white car!"
