The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.
You gotta start somewhere, so a banter about language fails after setting foot in America after the big move from Britain just seems appropriate.
Mistakes, misunderstanding, mispronounciation, misinterpretation all happened to these Brits while settling down in their new environment.
Lessons learned, all in a good way, to achieve a level of acceptance and tolerance.
Now they just feel like a couple of the locals, well sort of.
Give this a listen and you'll understand the initial challenges of moving to another country,
Don't laugh too much though. All these little stories did in fact happen and The Brits are gratefull to all who had to endure these cultural differences all those years ago.
