What is it with the English and potatoes?
If anyone has read Terry Pratchett's Discworld, there is an interesting potatoe plot element in it.
All in all, I like the occasional British oddball story. Indian oddballs are jumping off roofs and growing 10 foot moustaches. American oddballs are usually good old boys trying out for the Darwin awards or finding religious meaning in toast. British oddballs have that cheery, low-key madness for which people try to find more pleasant synonyms - eccentric, fey, barmy, touched.
