British humor of by-gone era

That stiff Upper Lip - email from Lakshman Karalliedde

After some time into the journey on a train from London to Manchester , an Australian man unable to bear the silence any longer, takes the unprovoked initiative of conversation by introducing himself to his fellow travellers, and soon starts berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment.

"You English are so stuffy. You set yourselves apart with your self-belief of superiority. You pronounce yourself above the rest of us with your stiff upper lip. Look at me...I'm Australian! I have Italian blood, Greek blood, a little Irish blood, even some Aborigine blood, ......and I'm proud of it. What do you say to that ?"

The Englishman replied, "Awfully sporting of your mother, old chap!"

and the upper lip remained very stiff..!!

British humor - email from Sunil Liyanage

Rowntree & Cadbury....Brilliant Only the British will get this one!. Mr Cadbury met Miss Rowntree on a Double Decker. It was just After Eight. They got off at Quality Street and had a drink in Mars bar. He asked her name. 'Polo, I'm the one with the hole' she said with a Wispa. 'I'm Marathon , the one with the nuts' he replied. He touched her Cream Eggs, which was a Kinder Surprise for her. Then he slipped his hand into her Snickers, which made her Ripple. He fondled her Jelly Babies and she rubbed his Tic Tacs. Soon they were Heart Throbs. It was a Fab moment as she screamed in Turkish Delight But, 3 days later, his Sherbet Dip Dab started to itch. Turns out Miss Rowntree had been with Bertie Bassett and he had Allsorts
