I thoroughly enjoyed a meal I used to enjoy as a student; bangers, beans and potato croquettes. Afterwards I watched three early Hitchcock films; Rich And Strange, Number Seventeen and Blackmail. Very stylish and very engaging, in fact so much more so than those later Hollywood efforts after the man had become a caricature of himself.
The English is beautiful, and everyone from the head of Scotland Yard to the vagrant have the most wonderfully manicured diction. Such things as Eau deer. Hwear is may Ded? The vagrant occasionally lapses into cockney with such things as Get awf me, yer rotten great bully. Bed at half past ten.
