Ere guv'nor. We'll have less of your fancy words if you know what is good for you.
Out here, in Her Majesty's distant Dominions, we may be enthralled that the leaps and bounds taken in technological science mean that communication with the mother country does not take three months like it used to in the twentieth century, but that does not mean that we have time to spare to contemplate the use of fancy language where it is not needed.
Out 'ere a man survives only through the application of hard work and an honest day's toil, while at the same time being mindful not to upset the natives who have been known to take offence at the most trivial slight such as kicking them off the land they claim is their own.
There's no need for your fancy words out 'ere.

Most of the GB's problem is of midgets pretending to be giants.
World's policeman - Pah!
Isn't this need for status a deep cultural problem, though?

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostJolly good show old bean! Indeed, these 'continentals' seem somewhat less predisposed to 'boom' and 'doom', much to their credit. Indeed one's impression is that the Bundesrepubliek is performing quite admirably in assuring the good cheer of her citizens, in no small way thanks to the competence of Mrs Merkel. Perchance she might advise Her Majesty's government on principles of good bookkeeping and fiduciary prudence?
