Renewing my driving license:
Her: Have you ever met the Queen?

I once got a question about the king of Sweden compared to a president so I just *had* to pull out the obvious canned answer (courtsy John Cleese at some tonight show when Bill Clinton was prez) that basically, the only difference between a king and a president is that when greeting royalty you only need to kneel down in front of them with one knee touching the ground rather than both of them...

...sadly she din't really get the joke...

Black pudding or blood pudding is an English term for sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. It is also called blood sausage (first attested in 1868, perhaps influenced by German Blutwurst). Although "blood sausage" is often labeled as a North American term, it is also found in English (e.g., in the story "The Name-Day" by Saki). "Blood sausage" is also used as a term for similar blood-based solid foods around the world.
Pig or cattle blood is most often used; sheep and goat blood are used to a lesser extent. Blood from poultry, horses and other animals are used more rarely. Typical fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, sweet potato, barley and oatmeal.

That is one thing that I do miss from up north besides great beer on tap. I found a link to this on db's SIG and had to post sorry for being late to the party.

Her: Have you ever met Hugh Grant?
