Way back when, I was working in the office of a haulage firm owned by a Dutch company. The office was a real mxiture of nationalities with a German, a Swede and a couple of Dutchmen.
After a playful exchange of banter, one Dutch chap turned to my boss and said:
"You know why the sun never set on the British Empire?"
"No"
"Because even the good lord didn't trust you b*st*rds in the dark"
:lol:
