7 Reasons Not to Hate The British

7 Reasons Not to Hate The British

We didn’t make this – the internet sent it to us, and jolly good it is too.  If we were in the habit of coming up with an eighth reason we could add that we’re not French.   But we don’t come up with an eighth reason.  That’s not our job.  We only do seven.  Or, sometimes, five with with a lot of extra-shiny-words to distract you.  Not eight though.  That would be...
