"I say dear chap's ", it's awfully nice to see ya'll have as silly a politicians as we got over here

I am just poking fun at your Councilor Martin Mullaney ,it would seem that politicians are the same the world over, they act like , just because they say it people will agree to it, whatever 'it ' may be. I am not meaning no insult to those members from London or Birmingham which ever it is.

Remind me to never visit Birmingham again

Apostrophes are not confusing! I wish people used them more
