It's always somewhere else, isn't it?

Somehow, a vision of Michael Palin bursting into the RAF

springs to mind. When faced with blank incomprehension
and a request to speak English, he replies "but I've got
to use banter!". Seems that goes for us too.

Speaking of ancient Brits, the Finns used to call Britain
cabbage-land, in case that alters anyone's opinion.
