All things British
I parphrase the famous quote by........hmm, so famous I can't remember if it was Lenin, Stalin or Trotsky (or indeed none of them!)
The original quote was
"Religion is the opiate of the masses".
My version:
"Television is the opiate of the masses".
updated for today's modern world!
It was Karl Marx who said it first! - had to look on Google!

Re: All things British
My own favourite poem? Well, seeing as you ask.
Ahem,,,,
On yonder hill
There stood a coo:
It must have moved;
It's nae there noo.
Anon.
Thank-you
I had a shell suit, but turned the trousers into 2 skirts.

They'll probably deny it as it is a well kept secret.

I hear that Tartan Kilts are making a big comeback in Dunedin since the sheep got used to the sound of the zip

Re: All things British
Hello dear,
That is why the Scots invented the Kilt - stealth is of the essence. But gotta give it to the Kiwi’s ( you see more positivity from me) they invented Velcro gloves and inflatable sheep.
The Scots also invented Mint Sauce aftershave and a long list of other goodies.
I think they also invented Jabbar.
There’s one for you to Google
See ya later ………….
