It wasn’t by chance the first weekend in November was it?
I very nearly washed my monitor in Mountain Dew at that one. 
A modern day Paul Revere would say “The Burberry coats are comin’ The Burberry coats are comin’”
And it would appear that when there’s some serious fightin’ to be done you need British men in skirts. The Black Watch even have a fabric named after them. Now that’s macho.
It would also appear from this thread that you have no need for us to import mad cow disease.
How d’ya think y’all will feel about being part of the European Union?
You have never seen a page 3 girl have you?
Of course they can’t tell the difference between men and women. They appear to have issues judging from this site

We could suply the catering for this establishment. Y’all like faggots dontcha?
How bout jellied eels?
Yum yum! (for those trying to imagine these - think inner tubes marinated in Vaseline). We eat these for fun.
Still think you can take us?
Ah well, the eels explain everything. You guys must have a serious need for barbecue. It’s the wrong meat, but it’s still barbecue.
As an amused observer in Virginia, I’d like to suggest that the Brits use some dirty pool: Send Jeremy Northam, Sean Bean, Robson Green, etc, over first to “soften up” the opposition, get a “lay of the land” and end resistance to British rule that way. Man, you guys just gotta do stuff the hard way, don’t you? 
Thats Aussie, not Brit.
What are you talking about? Marmite is British (though the Kiwis have a different product of the same name). The Aussies have Vegemite.
Are you really from Manchester??
We don’t spread toast with marmite, the Aussies do. I know, I went there. Over here, I’ve yet to hear about anyone doing the same thing.
Yes we do. Every sincle British person I know (who eats Marmite) spreads it on toast. Hot buttered toast with a thin/thick scrape of Marmite over the top. Mmmm. That’s how I was brought up eating it in Oxford. Indeed, that’s what it suggests on the jar, or at least used to. Couple of random examples:
And:
And indeed a search for Marmite+Toast in the SDMB archives reveals lots of Brits saying that’s how they eat it (won’t tax the hamsters even more though).
Maybe it’s a Manchester thing that you don’t (if so, what do you do with it then?).
Too bad. It’s yours. Take it and that slop they claim is barbecue.
Those are some great links, jjimm, but you’ve raised another “what the hell?” point here.
“Cow extract?” What in hell is cow extract?
I presume it’s produced in the same way that the marvellously named “essence of chicken” that you get in China is. Get a cow, remove the skin, bones, and meat, and boil it down until there’s only goo left.
It’s the bits of a cow that aren’t even usable for sausages, boiled up into a sort of treacle which is reconstituted with boilng water and drunk at football matches - it’s called Bovril.
We drink it with wagon Wheels.
I love Bovril I do.
Comfort food extraordinaire IMO as my Ma always gave me a flask of the muck when I was in school.
I dipped crackers with jam into it 
Yeah, but this time it won’t be spears and matchlocks vs. Maxim guns.
(Which an American had to invent for you anyway…)
