I'll cry if I want to

The BBC news website excels itself with this election party pack. Party colour co-ordinated cocktails, suggested playlist, masks of the leaders (ergh!) but my favourite bit is the election bingo: "Each player has a bingo card; watch the BBC's election coverage and cross off your boxes as you hear the words spoken on the television." For example:

neck and neck
one poll matters
end of the day
middle england
spoil the party
bloody nose

Gosh it's like poetry.

I had a flatmate from London who couldn't go a single conversation without saying "at the end of the day". I've since decided it's a citizenship requirement for the UK (but only enforced in England).

Along with "mustn't grumble"?

I don't think I've ever said that. Not without huge amounts of irony, anyhow!

I think I may have heard it said. Wouldn't saying it ironically make it even more British?
