Subject: RE: BS: translations from the British
Reminds me of the story of the guy who visits Boston for the first time. He's heard about the famous local dishes so when he gets in the cab at the airport he says to the driver, "Take me where I can get scrod."

The driver says, "You know, I've been asked to do that a thousand times, but never in the past-plu-perfect indicative."
