Hilarious, but it's exactly British negativity like this (even worse when someone says 'I'm just joking', when they clearly aren't) which makes me glad I left the UK!
Ah, the old British trick of being royally offensive in a British accent and looking pained when the offendee is so crass as not to be amused. I'm with you heart and soul, Laura!
How did this obnoxious person even enter your company? You are so gently tolerant, maybe for the sake of the humor you derive writing about it later? I would want to give him a good slap.
There are some weird old people in the world, Anneke. But the good part about writing them up is that I can edit out the parts about my own weirdness. Useful, huh?
Sheena, not even in jest! As Mr. Los Angeles has pointed out, had this particular Brit been staying with us full-time, at least one of the three of us would be in jail for manslaughter by now. As it was, I was pretty pleased when our coffee date was over ...
Love your blogs! 😀
Lovely to know, Ruth, and always a treat to see your name!

How the evenings must have flown by.......did you skip a lap of joy round the garden when the skshedule told him it was time to go home!

Thank you, Jennifer!
The Americans call it the trunk. The English call it the boot not the bonnet.
Thanks for catching that, Richard. I've corrected it for future readers.
