In New Zealand 'tea' is dinner.
yes, same in working class Northern England too - usually served VERY early, between 5 and 6 and followed by "supper" at 9 to 10 o'clock because it's so long since tea! And don't forget the Scots' high tea either, which can include anything from fish and chips, cakes, sandwiches and scones!

The traffic will drive on the left-hand side of the road like in the UK and cars will be imported.

then the name "The Boston Tea Party" will have to be changed as "The Boston Car Party" and the current "The Tea Party movement (TPM)" name of the American populist political movement, reference to the foregoing, will also automatically change as "The Car Party movement (CPM)".

I've seen different versions of this letter which has been around "at least" since the time of the kerfuffle about the way George W Bush was first elected. At that time the state she didn't fancy was Utah!

Not funny at all
Oct 20, 2011
Well, I've read all of this thread and for the life of me I can't see any British humour in it at all. It actually seems very American. What's this fascination with the Q of E?

Parts of it do seem very American, in-jokes about Kansas for example. 99.999% of Britons wouldn't find that funny at all.
It also seems a bit misinformed (presuming -ise is a universal British suffix, whereas -ize is also permissible).
In addition, I don't think anyone over here really does care who killed JFK.
