But you were talking about his career and how you lost interest in it when you found out he was a US national He became one before his UK success as it was where he was working. And by the way, MTBs were dangerous places to be. He was very lucky he survived and I assume pretty brave.

Anyway it's not as though I have a big issue with old Patrick, no doubt he was fine....I just have a inclination towards the more authentic.

On an East Croydon Station platform last week I heard a staff member help a chap born in Canada, who had moved to New Zealand, helped to pronounce Tulse Hill. He was using tul se Hill. reminds me of this Two Ronnies sketch.
