DON'T MENTION THE WAR....
It is a widely believed fact that the English spend so much time talking about the weather, gardening and cricket because the last time the country took any interest in religion and politics, we had the Reformation and a civil war. We have since been banned from discussing these subjects by an obscure European gentleman's agreement dating from 1687.
