They say sorry when they step on your toes! Their government makes them get a hundred dollar license every year for watching television...They call their houses 'Homleigh' and 'Sparrow View'! They sunbathe in their underwear! They don't say 'You're welcome'...They have amazing names, like Mr. Eatwell, and Lady Inkpen, and Major Twaddle and Miss Tosh! And they think we're funny?
