I would never have guessed that this, in particular, would be exactly what I needed, but here we are. Thank you for giving me the biggest laugh I’ve had in days.

americans doing a bit about english accents is almost as excruciating as the english doing a bit about any accent

Ah no I'm sorry actually. I was having a bad day and I took it out on you. I'm not a huge fan of this particular style of humour but I was very harsh here when I actually do love your newsletter.

I'm so sorry you've been having a rough day, and that's really kind of you. I agree that it's a cheap shot most of the time; I think part of the reason I used it briefly here was to puncture a particular automatically deferent/impressed response Americans can have towards a certain type of Britishness. But it's not the best part of this piece, I think, and there's a reason I don't use it often -- it gets old fast.
