Ja! Der Gemüsestrudel ist der beste Strudel. Es gibt kein Jägermeister der der Gemüsestrudel nicht essen möchten.

A-ha, now I've got all you in one room, I've locked the door from the outside and slid this note under the door.
The observant amongst you will have noticed that there is no keyhole on your side.
The more observant will have by now remarked that there isn't a door.
The even more observant will have observed the lack of windows and ventilation grills.
yours sincerely,
Professor James Moriarty
PS: as not to appear completely heartless, I have left you a pot of Mrs Hudson's Raspberry Preserve. Enjoy.

Steady you on (as we say in Norfolk) - I can barely cope with German, let alone Kiwi

It's not hard to speak kiwi, there are 3 steps.
1. Say either bro, eh, mate or chur at the end of every sentence. 2. Flatten vowels. So Fish, becomes Fush etc. 3. Everything shall be said in a Deadpan tone. Simple as bro. |

Okay, I'll learn you Norfolk in the same crash-course terms.
1. We do diff'rent.
2. Our tribal headquarters is called NAAAAAAARIDGE.
3. We all drink bears, not beers.
Oh, and we all drive tractors all day, have a few bears, get scrappin' then go home to the mawther* for tea (or so Londoners think, anyway)
* Confusingly, that's the wife, not the mother like it sounds. Unlike Kiwi I guess, Norfolk is often meant to confuse "furreners" Edited by el dingo - July 29 2009 at 02:36 |

That's right chap - we even get the same unfunny sheep jokes levelled at us

Don't worry, us Kiwis are accustomed to dealing with Australians
I thought the Welsh were the butt of those jokes? Edited by Any Colour You Like - July 29 2009 at 02:59 |

They are - big time - but we get our fair share of them too.
The ironic thing is that some City dwellers (I was actually born in London myself) like it so much here come here on holiday and never move back. So they sort of go from calling you a sheep-shagger to wanting to become one themselves, if you see what i mean.
Every major area of the UK has its own nickname:
Newcastle - Geordies
Norfolk - carrot crunchers
Scots - Jocks or Sweaties (Sweaty sock + Jock)
Irish - Paddies
Welsh - Taffs
Liverpool - Scousers
Birmingham - Brummies or Bluenoses
Sunderland - Mackems
Manchester - Mancs
London - Cockneys
There's loads more - my examples are just the polite ones
