Sunday Post: The Fly-on-the-Wall Documentary - A Window into Everyday British Life

Member's Update


Here are a couple of important updates for members. Monthly members will be charged on Monday night for the next month (custom monthly subscribers are charged on the 7th of each month). I just wanted to remind everyone so there are no surprises. In October, we will begin a new marketing push to get our membership from 107 to 200. Stay tuned!

I'd like to get the member's chat forum…

There's not much to update this week, only to encourage everyone to pop over to Anglotopia.chat and join the conversation about all things British. We have lots of interesting threads going! Check it out here.

The Georgian Flat

I once stayed in an old Georgian terraced flat in the middle of the summer with a sick pregnant woman. It was… an interesting experience. 

The flat in question was located somewhere…

Sunday Post: English Oak in the Air

Apologies for the late hour for this week's Sunday Post; we had a family matter come up unexpectedly (everything is fine now!).

A couple of big bits of news since last week. We hit our goal of 100 new members (now at 102, actually)! As a result, we set up the new chat room/forum this week, and it's up and running. You can access it by going to Anglotopia.chat, and…

You're now in a happy place, and we can't wait to…

Sunday Post: The AA Shelter and Member Update

A couple of housekeeping items for the club this week. There won't be an early podcast this week. In case you didn't see our updates on social media, Anglotopia was hacked, and the sites were down for several days. We've spent the last few days getting everything back up and running (this club is hosted by someone else and was not affected). Because of this, we were unable to release last week's…

Just a quick member's update this week, and then we take you on a journey to a magical book market located underneath a bridge in London.

Sunday Post: King Alfred’s Tower

This week, we have a short member update, and we explore a special tower in Wiltshire dedicated to an ancient king that looks much older than it actually is. Read on for details!

We are very, very close to seventy members! Hopefully, we'll get to our 100-member goal by the end of the summer (and then we can invest in the software for the private chat room/forum). Thank you for…

Sunday Post: June 30th - New Member Discount and Going on Great British Railway Journeys

This week, we have an important update for members paying monthly and we have our first new discount exclusive to members for British wooden puzzles. Finally, this week, I have a Sunday Post slightly related to British elections, but I promise it's not political in any way. How do Victorian trains and the 1997 general election connect? I'm going to tell you! It's really interesting, I promise!

We have planned this club for years, and it's always nerve-wracking launching something new like this. The positive response (and…

Sunday Post: The End of the Evening Standard

Editor's Note: This is an example of the Sunday Post article - Which will be sent to all Friends of Anglotopia members every Sunday.
It was announced recently that London’s daily newspaper, The Evening Standard, would cease daily publication and change to printing weekly and focus on digital-only delivery. I met this news with considerable sadness as I have very fond memories of the Evening Standard. Another London institution changes beyond recognition. 

Sunday Post: Wellington Boots

I was still a fresh young traveler to Britain when I bought my first Wellington Boots. I didn’t learn about the famous boots until I started watching The BBC show called Countryfile. It’s a weekly dedicated to country matters all over the British Isles. I noticed that week after week, the hosts would be wearing weird rubber boots that said ‘Hunter’ on them. I’d never seen boots like them before (we have…
