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...........
