This is me, standing at the side of the road (or “street”, I should say) in Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills 90210 to be precise. Where Bedford meets Carmelita. (They’re not people, they’re street names.)

I fell in love with Beverly Hills. In all fairness, it was baking hot when I made the below video – the sky was bright blue, the palm trees were tall, the sprinklers were misting the impossibly green grass with a fine veil of water… But still. What a way of life, eh? All year-round sunshine (just about) and everything so convenient. Ice makers! Air conditioning! PARKING FOR YOUR CAR!

Anyway. Here I am, musing on the joys of Beverly Hills but also pointing out a crucial few British institutions that are missing from the area. Those who don’t get my humour, I’ll tell you in advance that I’m being totally ironic when I mention Argos and Gregg’s…
