You watch "As Time Goes By" reruns on PBS to check out Moira Brooker and Jenny Funnell.
You preferred Christine McVie over Stevie Nicks in Fleetwood Mac. You watch Chris Matthews's Sunday morning talk show regularly in the hope of catching the BBC's Katty Kay on the panel. You took your sister to see Titanic so she could check out Leonardo DiCaprio and pretended to be annoyed about it, but you wanted to check out Kate Winslet! You saw Bend It Like Beckham in its first week of release. You danced a jig when Paul McCartney broke up with Jane Asher. When John Lennon started dating Yoko Ono, you realized you had a thing for Cynthia all along. You saw Calendar Girls ten times because you had a crush on Helen Mirren. You're the only American you know who has all of Cilla Black's records. You felt Warren Beatty's pain when he and Julie Christie broke up. Your favorite Francois Truffaut movie is Two English Girls because. . . well, just because. You were rooting for Niles and Daphne to get together from the moment "Frasier" went on the air. You were ready to demand a recount by the motion picture academy if the Best Actress Oscar went to Meryl Streep or Penelope Cruz, the only non-British nominees of this past year. You know the Mills sisters from the Redgrave sisters. Descriptions such as "cold" and "reserved" turn you on. Your favorite Estee Lauder model of all time is Elizabeth Hurley. You're ecstatic that Kate Middleton is available now. You're really into Margaret Drabble novels. |

You know you're into British women when....
....your tongue drags on the floor at the sight of chicks (or birds) in tight, skimpy Iron Maiden t-shirts.
A rarity on this side of the Atlantic. They've GOT to be British.

I love the accent, and the culture.

Someone once told me that some American men like British women because their accent makes cursing sound sexy!

Another sign you're attracted to British women:
Your favorite characters from The Odd Couple are Gwendolyn and Cecelie - oops, I mean Cecilie and Gwendolyn - the two Pigeon sisters.

Two other signs:
You get goosebumps when Anne Robinson insults someone on TV and sends them off as "the weakest link." ![]() You think of Anne Robinson as "the ultimate blind date." |

One more -
You get a thrill of excitement by Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music.
