do not be drinking anything. Specially not a bear or a cork.

The lawnmower part is so funny. (Also applies to husbands from Connecticut.) Actually the whole thing is funny. Even to me, who have never been to or known anyone from Norfolk. Do you think Admiral Nelson would prefer a bear or a cork?

Ah gahd. Wasband is from Norfolk, and that first video was just like visiting his family. I just about died.

Oh dare. Or, as we say here in Connecticut, oh deer.

I do like the idea of going to a pub and ordering a bear.

(Also, I would react EXACTLY that way to the prospect of a free lawnmower.)

I'd fit right in if I moved to Norfolk then. I can't seem to get it right, beer and bear sounding so alike! If you ever come to Norway, I'll charm you with my funny accent :)

The Singing Postman. I had half the lyrics buzzing in my head before hearing the video. Precious. :)

That first one is hilarious.
