Laurence Brown is a British man writing his way through the truly bizarre world of America - a place he sometimes accidentally calls home and a place he still hasn't quite figured out after seven years. Thankfully, his journey is made 12% easier by the fact that his accent makes him sound much smarter than he is. For evidence of this, subscribe to his popular Lost in the Pond web series over on YouTube.

  2. A Brit in the UK comments:

    1. It's GCHQ, not GCH, in popular usage

    2. A pylon is used for carrying wires used for the distribution of mains electricity. Transmission (of radio or TV) uses structures that would be called towers or masts, depending on how they are built.
