Is this before or after they burn an effigy of Jon Astley?

They write the same old posts with a few new lines, & everybody wants to
read 'em.  They write the......same old posts.

I thought UK residents were always polite, even in face-to-face situations.
It's the Americans who are loud, boorish, & overblown.  And we all have

sented in Britcoms.  Yee-haw!!!  Get on, little doggies!!!
