    My experience of watching news coverage in the US about the UK was that they only seemed to be interested in royal stories. Such big events as this are, however, relatively rare and hence they make the most of it.

    I have to put up with football and snooker and all sorts of other events in which I have no or little interest as and when they occur. One has to live with it.

    Now it's over the US media can return to its usual programming about complete strangers closer to home.

    I know what you mean. I'm constantly hearing chatter about this talent show thing called American Idol and people seem surprised that my husband and I don't watch it or other popular reality TV shows. Even the local news channel constantly covers that sort of thing. I don't understand how it rates as news, much less any of the other celebrity gossip. *shrugs* Ah well. I rather enjoyed the break from the norm and the excitement building up to the event, especially since I didn't hear any of the gossipy stuff, but rather more of the sort that just gets your interest up and informs.
