That's interesting. I never knew we had an "English way". What do "the Continentals" think is our "way"?

If this is some sort of survey then I plead the fifth

[VFK44]

Judging by the way we decisively left at 11pm precisely, with no shilly-shallying, I expect our international reputation is for being resolute, firm, and strong-minded.

Strong minded, perhaps. The rest debatable at least.

This must be as we say in England tongue in cheek.
We have had more leaving dates than my car has got rust holes. the Uk has been shilly-shallying around for about 3 years!

Winston has been dead for years
or were you thinking of Mrs May or Boris.
