I remember during the war in England there was a joke that went
around. The best time and place to tell it was in an English pub
with lots of RAF around. The joke went like this:

Eveything in England is smaller.
The cars are smaller.
The trains are smaller.
The rooms are smaller
The houses are smaller.
And they shoot .303's.

Then there's the story of the old English pub, somewhere in Norfolk,
near a US airbase.

Three old locals are sat outside drinking their beer when up roars a
jeep with some US Air Force officers aboard.

As they climb out of the jeep to go into the pub, one of the officers
turns to the others and says "watch this you guys - I'll show you how
dumb these Brits are"

He goes up to the old guys and produces a crumpled 1 pound note and
shiny new half-crown coin.

He says to one of the Brits - "Hi old timer - let me buy you a drink
- which of these would you prefer - a crumpled old note - or a shiny
new coin ?".

The old timer takes the coin and says "Why thankee sir, I'll take the
coin and get my friends a beer"

The US officers go into the pub laughing at the stupidity of the
Brits................

One of the old timers turns to the man with the coin and says " 'ere,
why didn't you take the 1 pound note ? ".

The other old fella replies - "Don't be daft - if I did that he'd
stop doing it every time he comes here !"

Have at you! There's this old chestnut:

Did you hear the last colo(u)r television factory in England closed
recently?

Yes, it's rather sad. They had to quit manufacturing them. They couldn't
figure out how to make them leak oil.
