Dry, British humour at its very best: Earlier this week I was in Munich for the excellent DITA Europe conference. Over lunch, I had the pleasure of excellent company, and during a lively, varied and very enjoyable discussion, I mentioned a British parliamentary exchange that I remember hearing on the radio some years ago. I'm delighted to have tracked it down on Hansard online. It features an exchange between two MP's, Messrs. Foulkes and Hogg, and a delightful example of an apology that is not quite an apology. To see it, click here and then search the page for the word "arrogant". And my thanks to Andrzej and to Richard for giving me cause to track it down!
