And a completely infallable test: if someone treads on your toe, do YOU apologise?
Of course! how unreasonable for my foot to have been in this persons way and given them an uneven walking surface
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
Re: English?
No, this reaction is entirely English. A Scot, for example, would respond with a Glasgow kiss.
An understandable mistake for a foreigner, but the answers to this question do not indicate a gentleman but a person of trade.
The correct response for a gentleman is:
c) I used to have them, but now I have a butler

When did you last have your butler and was it satisfying ?
Re: English?
You're beginning to remind me of Flashman BQ.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Re: English?
The double entendre was entirely intentional, old fruit. And there's only one way to take one's butler, but postillions are more flexible.That could be taken several ways Banquo

And I for one, sir, believe that you are mistaken...
Nihil nobis metuendum est, praeter metum ipsum. - Caesar
We have not to fear anything, except fear itself.
Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram
perque domos Ditis vacuas et inania regna:
quale per incertam lunam sub luce maligna
est iter in silvis, ubi caelum condidit umbra
Iuppiter, et rebus nox abstulit atra colorem. - Vergil
Re: English?
I can assure you that is not true. You would only get a Glasgow kiss if there was a pack of neds (chavs), since they always have to outnumber you at least 5 to 1. Plus most people (including me) say sorry. In fact both people in the incident would say sorry as a natural reaction.
I am very Scottish. All Scottish family tree, a teuchter parent so I roll my r's, with a part Northern Irish side of the family that originally came from Govan. I'm some sort of Calvinist stereotype. Even in my personality. I am dull, stoic, and manage to avoid having fun, and tell myself off when I do. And I support Rangers as well as my local team, in the Scottish tradition.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
