Where/how can I watch Jamie Oliver in the US? I've never seen him on tv here. Am I just missing him, or has America shut the blinds for him because he's European?
'ands orf 'im,'es ours!! the only people he seems to get a bad rap off are his fellow celeb chefs.he's a genuine,sincere guy & he's successful....probably winds up the likes of ramsay,who is one of his critics ,who falls flat on both counts.jamies business/restaurants are successful where ramsay & most of the other "celebs" are having a tough time & closing restaurants over here.I would check Youtube. I saw 1 episode and it was months ago. The season is probably over. I know Jamie gets a bad rap in the UK from some but I liked the show and his personality (always have). We will take him here full time when you get tired of him!

slow? nah,i was born here & still have trouble understanding sometimes.........I was married to an Englishman and I could't understand him either. That makes two of us that are slow. I am just slower. English please.
Going to school can rid a kid of their accent. I had a Danish accent in English until I went to kindergarten. I remember the kids telling me stuff like, "It's three, not tree. It's the, not zuh."When my third child was about a year old, my husband got seriously hurt at work. He was going to be out of work for a couple of months. So to supplement Workmen's Compensation, I went to work and left the kids with him. My daughter was just learning to speak. Her father was born in Cockermouth but had a strong Scottish brougue. So my daughter learned to talk from him and with the brogue. She kept that accent until she was old enough for school and to play outside with other kids.
Ah, Jaimie Oliver...he stole my idea you know..."The Naked Chef..."
The Americans think I sound like John Lennon when I'm lashedI have Jamie's America book, and the series to go with it was really good, he seemed to get around plenty of places in the US. Surely the US doesnt really shut the blinds to anyone European, I cant believe that.
He is incredibly successful, and a likeable chap. I love his passion for cooking and wanting to share that passion. I dont think him trying to educate people and change their ways (ie not cooking and eating junk food) always goes down well. However, I admire his enthusiasm, its wonderful.
Accents can be difficult to understand, but I just love local dialects they fascinate me. Makes us all that more interesting.
