Re the Madonna thing. A bit of a sidestep but I've never understood the lyric in Sting's "An Englishman In New York" that is the bit that says "I don't like coffee, I take tea my dear, I like my toast done on one side".

I don't know anyone who has their toast done like that and had never heard the idea prior to hearing this song. Is it something peculiar to parts of England, to parts of English society, is it just something US folk think English people do, or is it just a daft lyric?
