In other shocking news

CNN has a poll today asking: Are the British snobs?

An astounding 89% of respondents say yes. Who knew?

I'm very concerned about what is going to happen to all those souvenir cups and saucers that had already been mass-produced in anticipation of the Royal Engagement. They must be flooding eBay by now.

Kate's mother is a former airline stewardess. You can imagine the snickering that caused among the upper class twits. (Wonder if she ever had Rafe on one of her flights?)

And I read an article that said its all her mother's fault - she says 'toilet' insead of lavatory. Gosh, I call it the loo, what does that make me? Oh yeah, a colonial descended from convicts.....

And of course the Middletons - they're 'new money', in other words that means they got rich only in the last 200 years or so and can't claim 500 years of inbreeding like the Royals and their pals can.

The first time an Englishman called me a "colonial" I felt like I'd been slapped in the face. And it happened here in Montreal. I should've just told him to go back where he came from. That was 20 odd years ago and it still steams me.
