5. All the englishmen I know...

Would tend to tell you to fuck off, dear boy. Not that I would, mind you. I would have to admit that I have comported with a rather...errm...ropey variety of British Subjects in the past.

Now, if you would be so kind, would you pass me the Daddy's Sauce? There's a good lad.

[HEyHEY]

Hence the term "Stereotype caricature" if they can't deal with that....

Balls to them

[JVS]

20. Lemme try again.

Ok here goes: Ester hade länge lidit av tuberkulos, och när hon i april väntade sitt fjärde barn, låg hon redan dödssjuk på Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala.

Arghh, still can't do it!

[HEyHEY]

38. More at the back of the throat

I saw them having the odd snog in the corner when she was supposed to be nursing the baby. I'll never let her look after my children again. Besides, I don't like him. He's much too flash for my taste.

*"Nurse a baby" does not mean the same thing in British English that it does in American English.

[IcyPeas]

41. "Oh, bugger!

It's all wonkety!"--a direct quote from a former roommate of mine, who was from England.

"Just follow all the instructions and Bob's your uncle!"

'I say, there's an odd-looking lorry in the car park!"

"She had her knickers and tights hanging up all over the flat."

"My daily complained when I asked her to do the washing up after tea."

"I can go on holiday Monday week? Super!"

"Why don't you write to that agony aunt who's always showing up on the chat shows?"

"Well, I think your president is an annoying little tick."

As a long-time reader of English mystery fiction, I could natter on like this for hours.
