When’d we get decor? (ETA: I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but until I just wrote out the word ‘decor’ I never saw the connection between ‘decor’ and ‘decorate’. Sigh). ---

“Say hello!”? That’s rather high-handed of you, sir. You can’t just come in here being friendly all willy-nilly, demanding hellos like they’re cups of tea or whatever you guys drink over there in Engle Land. Next you’ll be trying to promote the merits of cricket and other sneaky sports that we here in the US don’t want to even try to understand. We’ll be keeping an eye on you. . . ---
