Quotes
- “An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.”
- “Continental people have sex life; the English have hot-water bottles.”
- “In England everything is the other way round.”
- “On the Continent people have good food; in England, people have good table manners.”
- “Television is of great educational value. It teaches you while still young how to (a) kill, (b) rob, (c) embezzle, (d) shoot, (e) poison, and, generally speaking, (f) how to grow up into a Wild West outlaw or gangster by the time you leave school.”
- “When people say England, they sometimes mean Great Britain, sometimes the United Kingdom, sometimes the British Isles, – but never England.”
