This past Sunday, Elder Patrick Kearon gave his first address as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. While Elder Kearon has spoken in General Conference before, no one had really paid attention before, so they were shocked by his accent.

Members of the Church all over the world were so amazed by the extreme, exotic nature of his accent, that they have since become enthralled with British culture as a whole. This has made itself manifest in multiple ways here at BYU.

The Cougareat has already announced an additional food offering. In the morning, Little London will serve everything offered in a full English breakfast. For lunch and dinner, they will offer dishes such as kidney pudding, fish and chips, spotted dick, and meat pies. Students are pushing for English tea to also be served, but that has not yet been approved by BYU administration. “I can’t wait to get some beans on toast for breakfast at Little London in the Cougareat,” said sophomore Anglo McPhileson.

Some students have begun to construct red telephone booths all over campus.

Flights from Salt Lake City to London have increased over 250% due to demand. In addition, over 15,000 students have sent in applications for the BYU London Centre. “I’m just doing it to get UK residency so I can be on The Great British Baking Show,” said senior Johnny Young, a Prue Leith mega-stan,

The earth-shattering talk has even begun to affect the way people communicate. “You know, I used to get mad at my five-year-old daughter for speaking with a British accent after watching Peppa Pig. But I’ve been rewatching Elder Kearon’s talk and I can’t help but speak with a British accent afterward,” said 24-year-old elementary education major Janis McManus.
