Things you should know about little old England

yes, i quite agree with you- what are these ruffians thinking when they take milk with Earl grey! quite prepostuous!

Punctuallity is of the upmoast inportance my dear and your father is quite right to ensure it is kept most carefully.

Well I better skidaddle off and prepare myself- I am attending a cruse ball in our fine capital this evening.

take care.


p.s. Jai was just talking normally and said "it was last afternoon" in all seriousness :P
 
What I probe, is the problem with the phrase 'it was last afternoon'...it's perfectly normal phrase to use, and I am not entirely certain that I even did use it!

Hmm...I can't see maid anywhere...I do think that I may be taking a personal trip to the local shop...it's just an absolute outrage when members of the workforce aren't present and correct...:nonono:

And enjoy your ball, Miss Louise!
 
What ho!

wow Chicketepee you were busy....

absolutly topping of you to join in old bean, that quoting malarkie was rather swank!

now I do just have one point- the word "britishers" which i believe you had object to was in fact used as a form of satire- it was stated by one in the start of this topic that some of those former english citizens of the commenwealth do in fact refer to us old sports as "Britishers"! glad we've cleared that all up..

Now could i offer you a glass of port? or perhaps brandy?
