Take me to your leader

December 18th, 2006 by Captain

Two chaps in an Avon dinghy approaching land around Brighton (UK), from a boat at anchor
Both speak with a fantastic Eastern European Accent.
Chap #1: Is this England?
Chap #2: Tell us, we hear you have good benefits? Good benefits, you understand?
Lady #1 on the beach: Errrm, yes, errm, yes, hello, this is England
Lady #2 on the beach: Bloody hell
Chap #1, with a very la-di-da accent: Only playing around, love, I work for the council
Chap #2, with equally la-di-da accent: Yah, I have a yacht.
