Not surprised about that.

I thought it pretty clever and funny.

We just happened to be better at it than most.

Dry yer eyes. The past is gone.

In terms of humour, its been done many times and is old hat and boring really. A bit like the question asked of the red indian, "what did you call America before the white man arrived?" The reply being, "ours."

Perhaps a sign of the times but I was tempted to change "white man" to settlers.

As opposed to anti 'foreigners' poking a bit of lighthearted fun at good old blighty.

As my dad used to say, 'If you dish it out you have to be able to take it.'
