Gingervitis!

Who knew? There is a focus on, and general fascination with, redheads in the UK...

We first saw / heard of it on the morning news here -- kind of a remark made in passing that caused us both to react with a "what did they just say?"

...then earlier this week was the headline on the BBC's website as part of their coverage of the cricket world cup (no - I am not watching it) that read (pun intended) Cricket World Cup Turns Ginger":
Come on you reds!

Then - we pop on the telly (no - we definitely do not say stuff like that) and bring up the program guide to see how many episodes of Scrubs, Columbo, Murder She Wrote, or any of the other favorites here are on... and there it was...

"F*** Off I'm Ginger"

and did we watch it? -- YES

look! click to enlarge to see the program description :

but in my opinion the best item on the subject is still the Ginger episode of South Park -- a clip from it is below:

I have ginger hair and married an American in the end. She's cute and gorgeous and enlightened enough to overlook the prejudice ginger people seem to suffer in the UK (well, the inability to get girlfriends.)

Great blog. Hope you're enjoying living in London.
