I can just see it.... I say you colonial chappie, give me a licence will you? As you can see I have one of these... (hands over a superior British licence) now be a good lad and fix this up will you?
What? You won't give me an ME rating??? DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO?? I'll speak to the Queen about this you ignorant convict git!
On a serious note,
Actually and with respect to your friend, I wonder if we have both sides of the story exactly right. I wonder if certain folk at CASA can comment?
