A priest here in the US that clearly had a British background by his accent was doing a mass on Independence day one year. An elderly lady, clearly up in the years and didn't think the question through before trying to make conversation, asked him how they celebrate the July 4th in England.
He looked at her, smiled a little, and then politely said "Well for starters, we don't really refer to it as Independence Day. We refer to it as 'I Think We Just Lost Half of the Commonwealth Day'".
Try to get a First and Second Amendment going in the UK. Apparently both are very important here, along with the internet and uncensored speech!
