There we have another difference, licences here need to be reapplied for  
every year (or two?) so they can be removed from those deemed unsuitable  
to hold them.

Shush don't tell them that; you'll jeopardise all our agents in the field.

Oh wait it was treated as a joke... Operation Anglify is still green,  
repeat green.

No need to lie then. Or so I am told.
I am also told that your women just love young Englishmen with a mathematical
bent.

They sure do.  And our women are so horny over young mathematical Englishmen 
with a Haskell interest, that they'll beg to be his sex slave just to have 
him.  But they will settle for mere relationship and marriage instead if 
that's all he wants.

Dat's ok.  Only a little skiing available here so he may not have come 
anyway.  And too much danger from the wildlife.  Spiders: Funnelwebs and 
Redbacks;  We've more poisonous snakes than you can poke a stick at (so to 
speak): Death Adders, Taipans, Red-bellied blacks, the Western Fierce Snake 
and the Brown snakes;  And we have critters that'll keep you standing in the 
heat on a 40 Deg.C day, ie., Crocodiles in our rivers that eat you whole and 
shit your shoes out a month later and thoroughly deadly marine life you 
don't want to meet on a swim: box jellyfish, stonefish, blue-ringed octopi, 
and the odd white-pointer.

Oh, and watch out for the drop-bears!

It's a wonder any of us survive past childhood really.
