An iPod fan I may be, but a Mac convert I still am not.
Despite this, the opening of South Carolinas first Apple store in my adopted hometown would have piqued my interest as it was - but when I got the chance to go and make a video for it for work, then I was always going to enjoy doing this.
Welcome to the new Apple Store on King St. Charleston.

I started my blog as a continuation of the daily write-up that I did when I got 500 people to give me 50p so that I could buy an iPod.
There's a lot of tube related stuff on this site due to me being a former World Record Holder for travelling around the entire network (275 stations) in the fastest time possible back in May 2004.
After living in London for the first 33 years of my life and working for the BBC News website I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in the USA in May 2006 for three and a half years before moving back to England and back to work for the BBC in November 2009.
So for ten weeks in June, July and August 2009, I drove 20,000 miles around the the lower 48 contiguous states of the USA visiting towns and places that shared the same name as places on The London Tube Map.

I think Geoff is allowed to sound a bit American now, he surely can’t maintain that pure BBC English accent for ever! It’s sort of Mid Atlantic, so everyone can understand him. Good video anyway, you’d think those locals had never seen an iPod in their life before, they way they whooped and cheered!

I’ve still got my BBC lanyard, yes! Never giving it up! Good spot though…
I used the word ‘holibobs’ in an email to someone in the UK today, which felt quite marvellous - i haven’t used that word in a while and made me very very un-american.
