gness -they also had a posher one at The British Embssy in Dubai UAE each year and "words" between different older males of dubious sex orientation as to who could play the principle dame ![ you did it last year its my turn].
Try explaining a panto scenario to Portuguese hubby who was mortified when I shouted out "look out behind you" - well the principal boy is a woman and the boys mother is played by a man - why cant they just have a boy playing the boy and a woman playing the mother - answer because you cant ! he was heard to mutter "stupid english" to himself ! but after a few years he always looked forward to going.

Just had a nasty experience, driving along about 55mph on the bypass, when a lady of indeterminate age decided to turn suddenly and go back the way she came! Everybody braking madly and all open-mouthed in shock. She could have gone on a few hundred yards to the roundabout but no! Never seen that before.
Dee. We had something similar when we hosted a Christmas in Canada for about a dozen guests. We had some English visitors who had brought crackers over. The Canadians had never had these before and as for having to wear silly hats during dinner!
It was when OH set fire to the pudding that the mouths fell open.
Baza.....shall you and I do something about Micras?

American woman came into Fortnum & Masons before Christmas and espies the Xmas crackers.
"Good God, what are these?"
One of the floor managers, impeccably dressed in his F&M morning suit approaches her.
"They are Christmas Crackers, Madam."
"And how do they work?"
You put them on the table and two guests take one, grip each end and the little tag inside the sleeve and pull. You then have a little pop and explosion and the cracker tears apart. The "winner" with the sleeve then gets the small present inside, and there is also a celebratory paper hat to wear and some form of small joke or riddle for one's amusement."
"And how much are they?"
"Madam, these are £1000 for twelve."
"Good God, who buys those?"
"I believe the Queen has a few at her Christmas table, Madam, traditionally held on Christmas Eve."
"I'll take four boxes then."
