Mamma mia..Are they all singing??

I forgot about this subject until I saw an article from the Times hailing how Britain started singing..Perhaps the writer was talking about the effects of the film Mamma Mia last year. But since we are officially in "recession" at the moment I think everyone should just start singing and looking at the brighter side of life otherwise we will all go potty..

What strucked me most was the line the "upper lip Britain"..oh yes I think so.. it's hard to notice when you are in this country what upper lip means unless you mingled with their highnesses and lordships. What the writer meant was whatever class you belong, this film managed to touch its viewers in different ways. If they haven't seen the film they are queuing to go to theaters to watch it. Another poignant thought was yesterday's Stevens Fry's idea of Britain. "When people say it's only in Britain, that means harsh, cold weather, economy going downhill, depression, and no you can't do it , etc. While if they say, "it's only in America" , it means hey it's a very good thing or yes it's good.

So back to singing bit. . One of my hubby's gifts last Christmas was a DVD of Mamma Mia thinking I love Abba..Oh yes I do but when I saw the film ....ahhhh...pause....ehhh....not sure....

So Britain is singing?? Better be, since we desperately need cheering up..

I still prefer the Dancing Queen of Winter Sonata.
