May look at changing cars this year, up to £10K and needs to be 4x4.

 

will spend more time on the road as a daily driver than on the fields and tracks (so it needs to be comfortable), but it needs to be capable when required.

 

so what have you got and why, and what would you suggest?

JOHN CLEESE'S LETTER TO AMERICA

 

To the citizens of the United States of America:In light of your failure to

elect a competent President of the USA andthus to govern yourselves, we

hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective

immediately. Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen

Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all States, commonwealths

and other territories (excepting Kansas, which she does

not fancy).

Your new prime minister, Tony Blair, will appoint a Governor for America

without the need for further elections. Congress and the

Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to

determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, The following rules

are introduced with immediate effect

 

1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary.Then

look up "aluminium," and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed

at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.The letter 'U' will be

reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise,

you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and

the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise."

You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra'; you may elect

to re-spell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you find you simply can't cope with

correct pronunciation. Generally, you will be expected to raise your

vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up "vocabulary").

Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as

"like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of

communication.

 

2. There is no such thing as " U.S. English." We will let Microsoft know on

your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of

the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize."

 

3. You will relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen",

but only after fully carrying out Task #1 (see above).

 

4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. November 2nd will

be a new national holiday, but to be celebrated only in England. It will be

called "Come-Uppance Day."

 

5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers

or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows

that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled

by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing

someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to

handle a gun.

 

6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more

dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to

carry a vegetable peeler in public.

 

7. All American cars are hereby banned. They are **** and this is for your

own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.

 

All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start

driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go

metric immediately and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both

roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the

British sense of humour.

 

8. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been

calling "gasoline") -roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it.

 

9. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries

are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are

properly called "crisps" Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and

dressed not with mayonnaise but with vinegar.

 

10. Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with

customers.

 

11. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually

beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as

"beer," and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be

referred to as "Lager." American brands will be referred to as "Near-Frozen

Gnat's Urine," so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

 

12. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as Good

guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play

English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in

"Four Weddings and a Funeral" was an experience akin to

having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.

 

13. You will cease playing American "football." There is only one kind of

proper football; you call it "soccer." Those of you brave enough will, in

time, will be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to

American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty

seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

Further, you will stop playing baseball It is not reasonable to host an

event called the "World Series" for a game which is not played outside of

America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your

borders, your error is understandable.

 

14. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

 

15. An internal revenue agent ( i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's

Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies

due backdated to 1776.

 

Thank you for your co-operation.
