I'm watching (with half an eye) the US version of the Weakest Link
gameshow. One of the contestants is named Tracy. I don't know how
Anne Robinson can keep a straight face: Tracy is a large gentleman.
In the UK, "Sharon and Tracy" are "Essex girls", and feature in
shall-we-say "blonde" jokes.
Truly, we (UK/US) are two nations separated by a common language.
