So as much as we might like it we can't get in for love or money.

You can always rent in that area though.

I have a garage in my village going for that sum, big enough for the Bentley.

You know you're in the UK when.............. you're in a takeaway just after closing time on a Friday/Saturday night and you're wondering if you can get out before it kicks off.

Nah, that could be anywhere. It should really be things that are only found or happen in the UK I would have thought.

Oooh !! You've just won Budlights ( Mrs Wiser ) karma. The apple pies look so inviting to her, Lovely laced pastry et al. The number of times I here her say something like, " Look at 'em. Look at 'em. Works of art ruined by (expletive ) cinnamon overload."
