Whenever I tell Brits they should read something relevant by Martin Fowler, I tend to get howls of laughter... then I have to say, "no, there's another Martin Fowler".
Here's a link to the one most Brits know about:
He's a bit younger than the real Martin Fowler, and this lad knows more about teen crime than he does about refactoring.
[Same problem with Michael Jackson vs the Michael Jackson Who Sang Bad.]
[Same problem with Robin Williams vs Robin Williams The Actor.]
most Brits know about - British Cultural Assumption. Some of us Gave Up On Television or never even watched soap operas in the first place. Reading The Other Martin Fowler only provoked a blank stare from me.
So you aren't "most Brits" then?
[Is it another British Cultural Assumption that Eastenders isn't in global syndication?]
I saw Eastenders on TV during the summer of 2004 in Seattle, WA, so it probablly is on global syndication. I just wonder what americans make of it.
