"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"

on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall...

DHL have delivered my brother's parcel to behind a gate at a remote farm track junction, 10 miles from his house, with no nearby human habitation. They are going to get the driver to retrieve it, they said, in a deeply unconvincing way.
