Policeman: Hey! Stop your car.

Roma: (Stopping her car, surprisingly). What is the matter?

Policeman: You have violated the traffic rule.

Roma: What are you saying? I havent committed any offence.

Policeman: Dont tell a lie. You should have stopped your car at red light but you skipped it.

Such negligence may cause an accident.

Roma: (Realizing her mistake) Oh! I am extremely sorry. In fact the crossing was free and I was in a

hurry, thus I failed to notice the red light.

Policeman: But you are expected to drive carefully and cautiously on the road. You cant endanger your

or others life.

Roma: Would you please pardon me this time?

Policeman: How can we allow persons like you to create chaos on the roads? Traffic police is for your

safety. I am booking you. Take out your driving license.

Roma: (Showing her driving license) here is my driving license. Please try to understand me. I didnt

commit mistake intentionally. I assure I will be more careful in future.

Policeman: Please dont try to argue, and give me $....... It is the minimum penalty.

Roma: (Seriously) try to realize my helplessness. I have only 3 dollars in my purse, I may need it. My

friend is seriously ill. I am going to her house to enquire after her health.

Policeman: Okay, okay..... You are being pardoned this time. Henceforward follow the traffic

rules carefully.

Roma: (Having a sigh of relief) Thanking you very much.

I spoke the other day of the colossal military disaster which occurred when the French High

Command failed to withdraw the northern Armies from Belgium at the moment when they

knew that the French front was decisively broken at Sedan and on the Meuse. This delay

entailed the loss of fifteen or sixteen French divisions and threw out of action for the critical

period the whole of the British Expeditionary Force. Our Army and 120,000 French troops were

indeed rescued by the British Navy from Dunkirk but only with the loss of their cannon, vehicles

and modern equipment. This loss inevitably took some weeks to repair, and in the first two of

those weeks the battle in France has been lost. When we consider the heroic resistance madeby the French Army against heavy odds in this battle, the enormous losses inflicted upon the

enemy and the evident exhaustion of the enemy, it may well be the thought that these 25

divisions of the best-trained and best-equipped troops might have turned the scale. However,

General Weygand had to fight without them. Only three British divisions or their equivalent

were able to stand in the line with their French comrades. They have suffered severely, but

they have fought well. We sent every man we could to France as fast as we could re-equip and

transport their formations.

I am not reciting these facts for the purpose of recrimination. That I judge to be utterly futile

and even harmful. We cannot afford it. I recite them in order to explain why it was we did not

have, as we could have had, between twelve and fourteen British divisions fighting in the line in

this great battle instead of only three. Now I put all this aside. I put it on the shelf, from which

the historians, when they have time, will select their documents to tell their stories. We have to

think of the future and not of the past. This also applies in a small way to our own affairs at

home. There are many who would hold an inquest in the House of Commons on the conduct of

the Governments-and of Parliaments, for they are in it, too-during the years which led up to

this catastrophe. They seek to indict those who were responsible for the guidance of our affairs.

This also would be a foolish and pernicious process. There are too many in it. Let each man

search his conscience and search his speeches. I frequently search mine.

Of this I am quite sure, that if we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall

find that we have lost the future. Therefore, I cannot accept the drawing of any distinctions

between Members of the present Government. It was formed at a moment of crisis in order to

unite all the Parties and all sections of opinion. It has received the almost unanimous support of

both Houses of Parliament. Its Members are going to stand together, and, subject to the

authority of the House of Commons, we are going to govern the country and fight the war. It is

absolutely necessary at a time like this that every Minister who tries each day to do his duty

shall be respected; and their subordinates must know that their chiefs are not threatened men,

men who are here today and gone tomorrow, but that their directions must be punctually and

faithfully obeyed. Without this concentrated power we cannot face what lies before us. I should

not think it would be very advantageous for the House to prolong this Debate this afternoon

under conditions of public stress. Many facts are not clear that will be clear in a short time. We

are to have a secret Session on Thursday, and I should think that would be a better opportunity

for the many earnest expressions of opinion which Members will desire to make and for the

House to discuss vital matters without having everything read the next morning by our

dangerous foes.

The disastrous military events which have happened during the past fortnight have not come tome with any sense of surprise. Indeed, I indicated a fortnight ago as clearly as I could to the

House that the worst possibilities were open; and I made it perfectly clear then that whatever

happened in France would make no difference to the resolve of Britain and the British Empire

to fight on, 'if necessary for years, if necessary alone." During the last few days we have

successfully brought off the great majority of the troops we had on the line of communication

in France; and seven-eighths of the troops we have sent to France since the beginning of the

war-that is to say, about 350,000 out of 400,000 men-are safely back in this country. Others are

still fighting with the French, and fighting with considerable success in their local encounters

against the enemy. We have also brought back a great mass of stores, rifles and munitions of all

kinds which had been accumulated in France during the last nine months.

Art:

TheNeolithicpeoples of what would become England constructed many impressivestone circlesand

earthworks; of these, the largest and most famous isStonehenge, believed by many English people and

foreigners alike to hold an iconic place in the landscape of England. Specifically English architecture

begins with thearchitecture of the Anglo-Saxons; at least fifty surviving English churches are of Anglo-

Saxon origin, although in some cases the Anglo-Saxon part is small and much-altered. All except one

timber church are built of stone or brick, and in some cases show evidence of reused Roman work. The

architectural character of Anglo-Saxon ecclesiastical buildings ranges fromCoptic-influenced

architecture in the early period; Early Christianbasilicainfluenced architecture; to, in the later Anglo-

Saxon period, an architecture characterised bypilaster-strips, blankarcading,balustershafts andtriangular-headed openings. Almost no secular work remains above ground.

Other buildings such ascathedralsandparishchurchesare associated with a sense of traditional

Englishness, as is often the palatial 'stately home'. Many people are interested in theEnglish country

houseand the rural lifestyle, as evidenced by visits to properties managed byEnglish Heritageand the

National Trust.

Landscape gardening as developed byCapability Brownset an international trend for theEnglish garden.

Gardening, and visiting gardens, are regarded as typically English pursuits, fuelled somewhat by the

perception of England as a nation of eccentric amateurs and autodidacts.

Cuisine:

Since the early modern era, the food of England has historically been characterised by its simplicity of

approach, honesty of flavour, and a reliance on the high quality of natural produce. This has resulted in a

traditional cuisine which tended to veer from strong flavours, such as garlic, and an avoidance of

complex sauces which were commonly associated with Catholic Continental political affiliations[1]

Traditional meals have ancient origins, such as bread and cheese, roasted and stewed meats, meat and

game pies, and freshwater and saltwater fish. The 14th century English cookbook, the Forme of Cury,

contains recipes for these, and dates from the royal court of Richard II.

Modern English cuisine is difficult to differentiate from British cuisine as a whole. However, there are

some forms of cuisine considered distinctively English. The full English breakfast is a variant of the

traditional British fried breakfast. The normal ingredients of a traditional full English breakfast are

bacon, eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or toast, and sausages, usually

served with a mug oftea. Black pudding is added in some regions as well as fried leftover mashed

potatoes called Potato cakes.

Tea and beer are typical and rather iconic drinks in England, particularly the former. Cider is produced in

the West Country, and the south of England has seen the reintroduction of vineyards producing high

quality white wine on a comparatively small scale.

Roast beefis a food traditionally associated with the English; the link was made famous by Henry

Fielding's patriotic ballad "The Roast Beef of Old England", and William Hogarth's painting of the same

name. Indeed, since the 1700s the phrase "les rosbifs" has been a popular French nickname for the

English.
