Don't know if anyone saw this but there was an item on Little Britain in America and whether or not the humour carried across the Atlantic. There was a very smug American on who was totally devoid of humour claiming that Americans wouldn't 'get' it. He was moaning about how British accents go down a treat over there and how his accent wouldn't be over here. He then said, with naked arrogance, "You were all happy to hear it in 1942 though."
To which the newsreader quickly replied:
"It would have been nice to have heard it in 1939." Classic!
To be fair, the American graefully conceded but it was a delicious moment.
(Apologies, Bobbie,this isn't anti-American but we all have our own tossers!)
