That stiff Upper Lip
email from Asoka Dissanayake
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!"
