Private Eye's 'Boris and the BJ' story and the response to it says about more Britain than you might think.
The pedant in me is kind of annoyed that you've put "sniggering" and "snickering' in the same article!
Other than that, excellent as always 👍🏼
According to the OED, "snicker" is the older of the two words (first cited in 1694), while "snigger" was first cited in 1706. So I'm merely using a variety of very old words!
