Why is everyone on this site adopting the American spelling of Programme? Does it really take so long to add "ME" to the end. We are BRITISH!

Watch your language there! Being critical of the US is one thing, but using such a word in this context (whether in a joking manner or not) is just plain sick. I have the highest respect for Britain; there is no reason why you should resort to such an idiotic attack to describe a nation you obviously know little about.

And, by the way, "future" is spelled "future" in ALL English-speaking countries (yes, even in the States).

While I prefer to see British spellings of words (and I wish that the British Billion was still used - i.e. 1,000,000,000,000 not the American 1,000,000,000) there is no need to start slagging off the USA because of it.

Yeah, the only time it is spelt futur is when people want to make a product look hi-tech by mis-spelling it.

Our bugbear is when people say 'season' instead of 'series'. I mean, this is all very well if you're talking about 26-episode runs of Seinfeld or whatever, but when you're discussing 'Naked Video' it's patently ridiculous.

And it's repeats not re-runs (another Americanism)
