I don't know if anybody saw 'Who do you Think you Are' on TV last night, which featured Julian Clary looking for his ancestors. By the end of it I was so cross I could spit. His Mother [snob] said she'd like to find an artist amongst her forebears, but please don't find any 'foreigners!' His Father has a German Grandfather and apparently the Mother teases him about it, Julian Clary later admitted on camera while driving a Mercedes that he didn't like Germans very much.
Anyway he discovered that not only did his Mother have an artist in the family but she also had , shock horror, a German from what was Prussia when he left there to come to the UK. She said [dumbo!] do you mean Russia, I wouldn't mind that so much.
So yet another Brit discovers that they're from a mongrel race!
I'm still cross at that stupid snobbish woman!!!!!
