Bank Clerk: Right. Let's fill this in. Where do you come from?
Mohammed: What do you mean by come from?
Bank Clerk: I mean that I can't let you open a current bank account until I know where you live.
Mohammed: Ah, OK. I live in Angerland. It's a county where I'm not even allowed to demonstrate my opposition to the government, and am inclined to be made to feel as though as I should hold my head in shame.
Bank Clerk: Fine. I'm spelling that - is it A - N - G - A - L- A -...

good tea band
Any band that sound good, excellent or mind-blowingly brilliant.
After the original skiffle ensamble, The Good Tea Band, who were alleged to have whipped their 50's audiences into a frenzied, hysterical euphoria with their Tea-Chest bass and banjo rhythms, akin to the eastern spiritual 'dervish' experience.
Thus they were banned by the Tempererance Society (Whitby) at the time, but still proved very popular in Staithes (North Yorkshire bohemian coastal village).

Henrietta: Yuk! You slummer.
