Perfect. I am having that. I never know what to say when they say that to me. Well madam, I love yours too - sounds really wanky and hollow. Of course I don't love theirs. I hear my wife using it to nag me all the time (kidding love he he).

One, I don't have a 'sweet' smile, I look like a boxer on a losing streak. Two, I think you know me well enough by now that I always prefer a witty come back to a boring one. Or at least a boring one masquerading as witty. Oh balls, let's be honest, I mean if it makes me giggle for a minute on the way back to the car I am happy ha ha.

Is sarcasm used a lot in England?
For which I had to reply "Never."


"Is this seat taken?"

Do you have cockroaches in England? (random!!!)

I have also had the Thanksgiving thing a number of times, but I have a very smart labmate here who quickly puts everyone straight regarding US (and UK) history.
