I’m from Connecticut; of course I’ve heard of tailgate parties. But I’ve also been forced to hear the music from another car when we’re both stopped at a traffic light. Not everyone in the vicinity wants to hear what you’re playing.

Well I was about to drive somewhere hammered but if Dame Helen disapproves, I will not be a pillock.

How many people across America are looking up the definition of “pillock” right now?
