Pie and mushy peas? (gag!)
Or... Jellied eels (barf!)
Whelks on the seafront at Yarmouth (beurk!)
Oop north: the magnficent <b>chip butty</b>! (<i>Yum</i>)
Farrrther norrth: meaty pieces and jelly pieces (aye, really)
And, throughout the bounds of the Land of 'Ope and Glory (click the picture for a truly revolting display)....
I once worked with an English guy. We were fairly good friends but one time we had a disagreement and I likened him to George III. He got real mad. Any idea why he would have gotten so riled over it?
You liken an Englishman to a German and wonder why he gets mad?
Tell us something.: This is the first sentence. This is the second of the recommended sentences intended to thwart spam its. This is a third, bonus sentence!

Through politeness and order, Canada wants to rule the world!

I knew it. That means we'll have to get our milk from giant platic bags and buy gas by the liter (or litre).
We'd have to start saying "aboot" and "eh". Clearly the UP of Michigan and Northern Minnesota have already been overrun doncha know 'eh.
Will we still have to pay import duty on Canadian beer?
Will Red Green be military governor of zone XII?
Thanks Bloom but Queen Victoria was a cousin to the Kaiser and they liked her.
Pie and mushy peas? (gag!)

Englishman when it suits me (not very often)

I'm not English but I like Marmite and I have an uncontrollable urge to drive down the left side of the road. Do you think it's a genetic hint at my lineage?
You have to have Brit. in there somewhere to enjoy "Marmite" A sarnie is what you would put "Marmite" in between, otherwise known as a "Buttie" however a bacon buttie takes a lot of beating. Oh yeah! I'm a Brit! We eat with a knife in our right hand and a fork in our left hand, (even my Canadian born children ) while playing a penny whistle. It's been 39 years but I think I have almost got the right hand drive bit down pat, untill I turn a corner that is.
Janice, that show cracked me up!
I liked the one where the Americans were asked if Canada should have a navy, given that it has no coastline. The American respondents were very generous and encouraging, saying that we should certainly have a navy and that they saw no reason that, given our lack of coastline, we could not use American ports for our ship.
Jetboy, I am off to visit 'the sceptured isle" come September.
Won;t get too close to Lincs though...probably the closest is the Otely Folk Festval just outside Leeds. I am going to a couple of Eric Bogle concerts and a couple of Bram Taylor concerts. Also, if you have a chance, Cdn group Tanglefoot is touring the Uk right now..they are WELL worth seeing!
me..I am looking forward to a bacon buttie! or some toad-in-the hole!
It would certainly clear out ones 'tubes' prior to a bout of whistling!
Slightly off tangent, there's just been a health scare over an Indian brand of Cayenne pepper ('Rajah' brand)-an essential ingredient of a good curry.
Turns out that it contains a red dye 'Sudan 1',a known carcinogen,which is banned for use in foodstuffs-it's normally used in WOODdyes.
Guess which brand of Cayenne, Curry loving Kevin had in his spice cupboard?
