| - British humour (American insubordinates: note the spelling) is the greatest of all forms of entertainment. No foreign person ever invented has truly understood this, especially not inhabitants of the good nation of America. This handy, helpful guide will let you, Johnny Foreigner, get to grips with this important part of British culture. Before we start, two extremely important ground rules should be brought to the attention of the non-British. Collectively, the way we disguise these two loathings is called our humour.

| - British humour (American insubordinates: note the spelling) is the greatest of all forms of entertainment. No foreign person ever invented has truly understood this, especially not inhabitants of the good nation of America. This handy, helpful guide will let you, Johnny Foreigner, get to grips with this important part of British culture. Before we start, two extremely important ground rules should be brought to the attention of the non-British. 1.
* We (the British) don't like you. We're either scared of you or we laugh at you, and I'm talking the horrible, cynical, soul-crushing, ego-destroying laughter. 2.
* We (the British) don't like ourselves. We're socially inept, we've pissed our Empire up the wall, we’ve pissed off everyone in our own continent of Europe and the rest of the world and our only friends are the United States. Collectively, the way we disguise these two loathings is called our humour.
