"You be Mum"=Pour the tea, cut the cake, etc
We were at our host's house for tea and the cake needed cut. He looked at Maria and said, "You be Mum"! How charming! They frequently use that expression to tell someone to serve the table.
I noticed today that all the speed limits are still posted in miles per hour--how strange! Apparently they've only been on the metric system for less than 50 years. It's taking a while to adjust everything.
Today I learned that the UK lottery has a commission that awards grants to various museums, non-profits, olympic training, etc. What a fabulous idea! Proceeds from the lottery are given to these organizations/programs based on an application and public good they provide.
