And where do I state that women in their sixties cannot watch GoT?
Perhaps you need to expand your knowledge of the English language

Didn't he recently get the sack from the BBC for saying publicly that Meghan's baby looked like a monkey? I'm sure it was him.

Unbelievable racist remark to make.

It's only the same as when I take part in the Facebook quiz. Guaranteed there are a minimum of 2 questions always on the USA. Guaranteed again that I never get 10 out 10 correct. Completely ignorant on USA places, sports, personalities etc, so can understand Indians in the UK who obviously follow their own culture and traditions, not knowing those questions. Perfectly understandable.

Re: British Asians' Knowledge of Our "Popular Culture".

Popular British culture really is quite different for many people noel Edmonds for instance appears pretty unknown to millennials so why anyone was surprised he wasn't known to everyone is surprising. If you don't follow celebs then many people are completely unknown. Doesn't help I keep seeing young women who all seem to look very alike. The surgeon's seem to only produce one pout these days.
