I agree. Mary was driving me nuts. And Lord Grantham was being right old twat about including her (rather, not) in the plans for the estate. And I continue to completely distrust Edna (though Branson...tsk tsk tsk...former chauffeur or not, power differential there) and Jimmy.

I watched ep 4 and have not watched the show again. I was really really put off.

What, specifically? (Not a challenge -- just a curiosity.)

Aims,
Sorry, ep 3 is the last one I've seen. The end of the ep, I was done. This is Season 4 I am talking about.

I finished it off (Season 4).
Yawn.

Just watched episode 1 of the new Bletchley Circle series. (I think I know why Holli is currently posting about princess coats!) I liked it: Susan is still traumatized from the previous series, and Lucy and Millie both have more interesting jobs. I did figure out the plot twist before the characters did, though, which I shouldn't have.

Writing an essay aimed at the UK market that is supposed to be informal and a bit colorful. Are the words "sucker" and "grifter" too American or do they work in a UK context?

Spontaneously, I would say that they're both quite American, but grifter is probably OK while sucker is not.

Thanks. While not trying to conceal Americanness perhaps they both should go. Sounds like "grifter", even if completely comprehended may not have quite the Runyonesque feel it would have in an American context. Best to get rid of both of them.
thanks
