I didn't really see the British punk movement if that's what it was as wildly original because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973 really.

I've always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers - whether female singers or just like music from this country in general.

I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs.

The guy that made me wanna make movies... and this is off the wall-is a guy named Michael Pal the British director.

In a few days an officer came to our camp under a flag of truce and informed Hamilton then a captain of artillery but afterwards the aid of General Washington that Captain Hale had been arrested within the British lines condemned as a spy and executed that morning.

The United States dollar took another pounding on German French and British exchanges this morning hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany.
