The corollary to that is you can say the English are generous but you can't say they're smart, funny, smelly, vicious, kind, good looking,...

Now I didn't say that nor would I.

Now *I* didn't say that nor would I.






If you want to hear me complain about the English it would be about their feckin' cars!

Well... okay I love it but I am pissed at their ability to engineer a decent AC system. Yes, yes I know you don't need Air Con in Norfolk.

1867 a few years before 1997. But it did set the model... Canada just said, "uhhh... can we have the country?" and it was done. None of the good war stories.
And we've been apologizing for it ever since. We're just nice that way.

In our 'most Canadian way'.

(Canadian accents do wonderful things with words besides 'out' and 'about'. 'Sowrry' is a beaut.)
