Am I missing something here? It seems to me that about 90% (probably more)
of the people in the UK are Christians. These seems like being amazed at
rain falling in Seattle for five days straight, or walking a dark alley in
Hong Kong and not seeing anybody over six feet for some time.

Now if the dealer is really named Bilbo (wife's name Bimbo?) then it's
getting interesting.
