I was at a networking lunch today at a perfectly good but nothing particularly special Lebanese restaurant in Manchester where a pint of IPA was £6.50.
£6.50!
!!! That's half a cd.
I'm glad I've given up.

From school essays by children:
"The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West."
"Queen Victoria was the longest queen. She sat on the thorn for 63 years. She was a moral woman who practiced virtue. Her reclining years and finally the end of her life were exemplatory of a great personality. Her death was the final event which ended her reign."

"In England and the Continent today, proper dinner table usage requires that peaches, pears, and bananas be eaten with knife and fork; only picnickers, peasants and Americans pick up a piece of fruit and bite into it."
This is a surprise. Is this how you eat these?

I’d say that was written in about 1600, except there were no such things then as picnickers or Americans.
As far as I'm concerned, it's still 1600.
And 1776.
And 1965.
And every other moment I've seen, heard, or read of The Sceptered Isle in cinema, radio and print.

What a cheek ol bean. I thought you'd take that tip on board. Especially as I was led to believe you lot have trouble using cutlery.
This is soooooo British that I really-truly understood none of it.

The fact that no one commented on this makes me think that you-all used these same words in your grade-school essays.
