Not a retort as such, but I was once passed at stupid speed and significant risk by a chap in a Maserati who seemed to feel I'd been impeding his majestic progress. I caught up with him at the lights and to my own surprise, because even now I don't know where it came from, heard myself say: 'well, you've got the car. All you need now is a life.'

I was on a fairly crowded train travelling from Berwick to Kings X, minding my own business and looking through the window across the aisle.
A woman next to that window shouted across at me,
"Oi mate, you looking at my boobs?"
Me: "No, I'm not....... because your boobs are like this train."
"Eh?"
"Going south fast."
She left the carriage.
I was proud of that one.
I still am.

I already stated I was looking out of the window and minding my own business.

If that was the Merthyr one, everyone up here in the valleys talks like that mun. Notice I also said "down by there", too. This proves that the bloke in question was indeed a "valleys boyo".
Had he been from Cardiff, he would probably have said "See, I likes to use the crossing down the road, I does"

A reply worthy of Donald Trump. You must be so proud.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
When my grandson started school here in deepest darkest Wales at the age of 6, one of his teachers took my daughter to one side and said "we don't understand what he is saying. What does innit mean?"

The woman had been behaving in a generally boorish and unpleasant manner for a large part of the journey - several very loud phone conversations and belching - I suspect she was slightly drunk. She deliberately tried, for no reason, to publicly embarrass a complete stranger (me) and she got what was coming to her.

You bring to mind a story I have posted before, but a long time back, so stop me if you've heard it but...
I once read of an American film director who got talking to a local in a pub while filming in Ireland. "I've just come from making a movie in Spain," he said, "and even after just a couple of weeks here, it seems to me that you have a similar sort of mindset to the Spanish. Tell me, do you have any expression like their 'mañana'?" "Well," said his companion, "we have a number of similar expressions...but none with quite the same sense of urgency."
