Like Madonna, I've fallen in love with all things British. Unlike Madonna, I have yet to adopt a fake accent and pretend I'm to the manor born (though that issue of last year's Vogue begs to differ). With the Metropolitan Museum of Art's upcoming "Anglomania" exhibit, I am more than certain there's another British Invasion a-comin' (if it hasn't already come about a million times already). To get your Brit Pop primer tuned, go take a listen to Virgin Radio UK. It streams directly from your iTunes and gives you a taste of jolly ol' England without leaving your living room.
Of course, there's the requisite shrine built to uber-group Coldplay and poster boy James Blunt (though that backlash is upon us), but since the Brits never want to admit that the sun actually does set on its musical empire, there's also a heavy dose of Beatles in the rotation. Quite curious indeed!
However, the intermittent traffic reports are the highlight here. Instead of Major Deegan, you get to learn all about something called a Junction. Tune in...
[Virgin Radio UK, (virginradio.co.uk), or stream from iTunes: Go to Radio > Top40/Pop > VirginRadioUK].

There's nothing wrong with junctions. We also talk about motorways. And pavements.
(We really must do the "US into UK english" web page one day. I keep threatening.)
Thanks for the mention: by the way, our other three stations aren't linked from iTunes for some reason, but you're welcome to find them: just look top-right on the Virgin Radio homepage.
