She promised to teach me this technique and to also detect when I was being insulted by another evil Brit...hehehe. 
I hope you do not neglect to share this precious knowledge with the rest of us who might ever be risk of being insulted by evil Brits! 
What I absoltely LOVE about the British way of communicating is the humor of understatement. I recall a story I heard from my former bf, who happened to be British, who totalled his father´s car at age 16 and when he came home announced it to his parents as "There seems to be A BIT OF a problem with the car." Coupled with his accent, that is just something that makes me laugh every time I think about it.
My favorite book EVER is full of such wonderful British humor (I´m referring to "Three Men in a Boat" of course).
