After the recent poor show from the United Kingdom, I feel that we should have a thread consisting of beautiful British conversation and possibly some fine British humour. No colloquialism and perfect grammar.

After my cup of tea this fine morning, I made the decision to wash my automobile. As it was frightfuly windy I had to wear my long johns, I did consider wearing my wind jammer.

This afternoon one might have some buttered scones and cream before "Doing the Lambeth walk" down ones local :rofl:

Nor do we begin to answer a question with "Well I reckon..." as we adjust our 10 gallon hats and put our thumbs in our belt loops while shifting our (enormous, hulking) weight to one leg.
