Strange British sayings
 

Boris Johnson: The Tory mayor said claims political interference lay beyond the departure was "balderdash, piffle and tripe".

Do people really say such things or is Boris in a time warp from 1937 black and white movies. Oh the days of Ealing Studios. :zzz:

Someone give Boris an iPod and a can of energy drink and fast forward him to this century, right on man.
