  I thought the british were known for their impeccable manners, but whenever i listen to the BBC world service, every single one of their interviews is extremely combative; even if they're interviewing some poor school marm from the east midlands, they like to cut her off mid-sentence and throw in a "AREN'T YOU IN FACT A HEINOUS MONSTER WHO WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO SUCK THE MARROW FROM THE GNAWED-CLEAN BONES OF THE WEE ONES IN YOUR LAIR DOWN BY THE COAL SCUTTLE?". Which, of course, throws everyone interviewed for a total loop and by the time they recover their composure, the interview is over.
