Title says it all. Some kip would be lovely. Unfortunately, some git threw a wobbly and dented me bonnet and smashed me windscreen with a spanner in the car park near the council house. Brilliant. I’m also peckish because I haven’t had tea yet, and the flat needs hooverin’. Maybe I’ll just go to the pub and get pissed, but after a couple pints I’d be headed for the loo cuz I’ll have to wee. Bloody hell.
(I’ve been watching some British telly)

This is the point where the British officer works out you’re an American spy.

You may feel bloody knackered now, but have a spot of tea and perhaps a scone, and Bob’s your uncle.

Why- because no self-respecting Englishman would use the term ‘a couple’, or no self-respecting Englishman would stop at a a couple?

It’s “a couple of”. Not negotiable.
“A coupla” would be OK

All be the same in 100 years, mate.
I’d buy you a pint if we were in the pub…

So, Top hole. Bally Jerry pranged his kite right in the how’s your father. Hairy blighter, dicky-birdied, feathered back on his Sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harper’s and caught his can in the Bertie?

So you see, son, _that’s_ how we won the war.
Jerry couldn’t figure out the banter.
Forget the Navaho code talkers…

I’m watching Brokenwood and responded “Ta” to my boss today when he handed me something. He looked at me funny.
