CUTTING REMARKS !

 

                                                                                  

 

The English have an extraordinary ability for flying into a great calm.

Alexander Woollcott

The English never smash in a face.  They merely refrain from asking it to dinner.

Margaret Halsey

England has forty-two religions and only two sauces.

Voltaire

The English think incompetence is the same thing as sincerity.

Quentin Crisp

Britain is the only country in the world where being " too clever by half" is an insult.

A.A. Gill

I hope you like these insults I have put in this entry. Being English myself I thought it best to insult my own nation before I start on anyone else`s !   Of course if anyone objects I won`t post anymore about countries and will stick to Cutting Remarks on other subjects.  So if you do leave a comment, tell me what you think...........

Keep it up. This is great. I was born in Long Crendon, Bucks and a favourite saying of my grandpy was: "Bucks born, Bucks bred, strong in the arm and thick in the 'ed".
