so? Yeah,
7:40
sometimes. Well, we're super polite, but
7:42
I think that's probably true. We're not
7:45
the most outspoken of people, I guess,
7:48
right? when it comes to No, it's like if
7:50
you have a bad meal and they come around
7:52
and say, "Is everything all right?" And
7:53
we've been grumbling about it for 10
7:55
minutes, but then we go to the person,
7:57
the waitress, yes, yes, it's fine, thank
7:59
you. And then carry on grumbling about
8:01
it. So, how would you know then? Let's
8:03

8:28
just noises really. And hopefully they
8:30
get the message. How would you be aware
8:32
that you've upset a Brit then? They've
8:34
not queued or they've not enjoyed the
8:36
dinner you've made. You just get a dirty
8:37
look. Yeah. Yeah. You might have to look
8:40
at their face. Yes. at all. Okay. Like
8:43
we're quite subtle people. Face and body
8:46
language language. Yeah. We're a nation
8:48
of dog lovers. Ah, I love that. There we
8:51
go. We got the
8:55
Oh, most most households have a have
8:58
have a dog.
