The trouble with old colonials.......
....... is they are
OLD
and
COLONIAL
Please humour him and agree that Brits can no longer make claim to be the best at everything. Sometimes the colonials are good at something...... like...
Cricket (Aussies - oh no, not these days)
WORLD series baseball (Yanks - but don't tell them that it was an Englishman that first drafted the rules of baseball)
But most of all don't say that we do SAR better than anyone else. It's not diplomatic and in all probability it's not true. If you do then SAS will get his big stick out and.... well woe betide you.
