Let me assist you somewhat. Pimms is traditionally enjoyed while seated on the tailboard of a Range Rover. A proper Range Rover, not one of the Sportvogue Wayne Rooney's Hairdresser's Bathwater ones they also have nowadays.

Morris Dancing is usually the preserve of more rustic folk, and watched by the Pimms-on-the-tailboard mob, just before a hearty game of Dwile Flonking. Ooor-Aaarrr!

Sounds like summit from Kenneth Williams' 'Ballad of the Woggler's Moulie'.

You spelled Pimms wrong. Speaking of which, I must get some fruit and whip up a jug of Pimms punch.

Much obliged, sir.

Sir Osis of Liver.

Happy St. Georges day to our nearest neighbours,



the only day you can be proud to be English and not get done for being racist.



Tally ho and by jingo.

I worked in a factory during college in Dublin in the eighties. Lots of the "hard man" lads had sovereign rings. They'd also consider themselves (armchair) republicans.

On closer inspection I noticed that stamped on their rings was a man on a horse slaying a dragon.

The shock, disbelief and horror when I pointed out what scene was unveiling on their expensive Argus bought gold ring nearly got me killed!:pac::pac:
