    This is simply incorrect, the guidelines approved and enforced since Victorian times is the man kneels before the woman sat on the bed, they hold hands, the lights go out for a minute, then come back on and she is now with child.

    Anyone found breaching said guidelines are roundly shunned through heavy tutting.

      I misread that as the man kneels, before the woman shat on the bed.

      As a Briton, I appear to use either the traditional “fuckin’ 'ell” or “shittin’ 'ell” or the somewhat nonsensical “shit the fuck”.

      I’d be interested to see if I could train myself to switch to “Good Lord!”, like some sort of gritty Northern “My Fair Lady”.

      It wasn’t until relatively recently that I learned that the British often use “tea” as the word for their midday meal.

      As in, “what are you cooking for tea today?”

      Weird

        Tea is not the midday meal, it’s the evening meal. Usually the largest meal of the day on a work day evening.
