"Alfed" can still post under a not so obviously fictitious name.
Shame about the member id. It would have been fun playing the guessing game - is he or isn't he..
Who is Alfred ? has this reply
"Alfred is a large eared, red headed freckled child. I get the feeling he may be related to our "great leader".
Obviously meaning Tony Blair.
Reading the magazine with this view may elicit an extra chuckle or two.
Sky One are due to show on 9th Jan a new episode of Simpsons entitled
The Regina Monologues. Tony Blair appear as a British Tour Guide and the Simpsons visit London.
"Why would you want to greet us low-lifes off the flight?" demands Bart.
"I want to encourage the World to come and see the beauty of 21st century Britain," replies Blair. Homer then offers Blair a dollar to leave them alone. He declines, but pockets the money anyway."I can't believe we met Mr Bean," says Homer.
In fact there was another English carricature in The Simpsons. Some psychiatrist. I haven't figured out who they based it on.Richard Branson keeps popping to mind but the Americans actually like Branson better than we do. Apparently.
