I do hope that you haven't spent your retirement so far watching Jerry
Springer and picking up some Americanisms 
I have heard the name 'Jerry Springer', but never seen his show(s). My
impression from what people have said is that they are "emotional wind-up
TV" of the kind that seems to splattered all over channels at times. Not
to
my taste.
**I watched (a tiny part) of my first Jerry Springer Show yesterday. Here's
my very brief impressions:
* The show is unabashadly aimed at the lowest socio-economic group/s in the
US - 'Trailer Trash' is the term, I believe.
* The audience seems to revel in prurient displays by the 'contestents'.
* The audience displays the most disturbing patriotic tendencies, whenever
possible.
I realise that just wasted 15 valuable minutes of my life.
