By the way, the real answer to where the blokes are is in the pub, for goodness' sake! British blokes are real men and don't take to all this new fangled exercise and vegetables crap.

We do, it's you "collonials" who screw it up. Why does MS Office spell checker default to English (US)? Two great nations divided by a common language as someone once said...

Because Bill Gates is an American? (Even in the US we don't spell it "collonial" btw.)

Don't worry, we have to push "1" on a touch tone phone for English now, lest we offend spanish speaking peoples by assuming they speak English or by making them press 2 if we don't have to press 1.
