Loved the Encyclopedia and talking teacher jokes - perhaps bcause I'm married to a Teacher's Assistant :D
 
I like this one-

Teacher asks pupil to spell 'king'

Pupil - please miss we don't have a king, we have a queen
Teacher- yes I know, but I would still like you to spell king
Pupi- but miss, we don't have a king

So this goes on for a while, in the end the teacher raises her voice and shouts - look, just spell king will you?
Pupil - KINGF
teacher - what? There's no F in king
Pupil - miss, that's what I've been trying to tell you.

Well I liked it anyway.

It's not that different. Most people I know prefer it to the American variety.
Check out this graffiti near my in-laws block of flats.

Great subject and artwork! I'm guessing from the roof outline that your in-laws don't live in Peckham :)

There's no 'F' in justice, either.....

A small, scruffy Yorkshireman is standing in the dock, listening to the charge being read to him. At the end of that, the Judge turns to him and says, "You have heard the charge. Do you plead guilty or not guilty?"

The Yorkie thinks for a minute. Then says, "Any chance of hearing t'evidence afore I mek me mind oop?"

No, not Peckham, but they do live in a housing estate, in a building similar to the Nelson Mandela house. :)

If you think about it, there is a lot of sense in that.
