Tonight I had the pleasure of dining with Bill Bryson at the Media Group at the Reform Club. The Reform Club is just one of the most beautiful spaces in London, if you are lucky enough to know someone who is a member get them to invite you their for drinks and dinner (the pudding trolley is spectacular in a 19th century way) The Media Group meets every couple of months for dinner and a guest speaker.
Tonight Bill was talking about his love of the British Isles, "humour and history" apparently is what he rates most about us!
He does have a pet peeve about Britain though and that is litter. It's something that is starting to be picked up by the press, but he did ask that I pass on his personal email address ([email protected]) so that if anyone out there felt strongly litter in this country and wanted to do something about it they could get in touch with him.
.
I suggested that he starts a Bill Bryson anti-litter blog and start a movement online but he said
that he was too old. Never too old I tried to explain and even told him about Typepad, but to no success.
Oh well, still a lovely dinner and a great after dinner speech.
