He looks at British towns and countryside with a fresh eye, revealing us as others see us.

“I nearly walked under a car when I spotted my first ever bus queue. A dozen people of all ages and walks of life stood neatly behind each other (without touching!). I stared at it in wonder.”

“Initially I thought people really wanted to hear more when they said “how interesting”; and I appreciated the compliment when they said “nice tie”.”

“I wonder what Marlborough, Wellington or Churchill would have thought about the EU.”

“Conviction is key: people can spot from a mile away if a politician just speaks spin manufactured to please them.”
