Sorry about that American. Were you just internally thinking "please do something to warrant me at least screaming at you"?

But on a serious note, the public perception is that the role is largely a ceremonial one. Were there any occasions where either by warning or observation you thought things were about to get terribly serious?

I mean, I'm American and have lived in London for like 9 years, so I know assholes come in all shapes and sizes.

Thanks for the answer.

Someone who is a native speaker of English in the British dialect. That story is obviously written by an American or someone who learned English in the American dialect. Spelling, word choice and sentence structure are all Ametican.

...just take your upvote and go. Never speak to me or my son again.

The biggest flaw, is it isn't even trying to word it like a British speaker.
