Hello Cindy and Cheryl,
Yes, us Brits come up with some zingers at times, and because we sound so proper over here, people don't know how to take it!

It's rather humourous. I've said some really funny things to people when they are being downright ignorant, and
WHOOSH, it goes right over their heads.
I'm Catholic, and Mike is Methodist so when you think about it, we can always find a holiday to celebrate. Now, if anyone were to even think about asking your religious views in Great Britain a bloody war would and could break out. Wait, it has!
Go give them a piece of your mind, Cindy. It feels like "Big Brother" is in your medicine cabinet. The next thing we will come to know is they will start asking us about our bowel habits.

Now there's something to get the ***** flying!
