The choice of our blog's name is based on the well-known phrase "London Calling" and Queen Elizabeth II.
"This is London Calling" was the opening sentence of the BBC news used during the World War II and also, the name of the magazine that contained a list of the programs if the BBC World Shortwave Radio Broadcasting Service.
Queen Elizabeth, has been for 60 years ruling Great Britain and represents the nation as a whole.
This blog will focus on the language used in the media (newspapers and magazines, TV programs...) as well as the language used in British films, dialects and by the most influential figures in Britain today.
