Has anyone ever read the side of a Pret a Manger bag?
Wallies tend to be kind, gentle human beings. They're comfy following the crowd. Wallies are vulnerable to having the wool pulled over their eyes. They enjoy getting lost in malls, they're often late, their time management is patchy, at best. You wouldn't find a Pret in Wallyland. It's a bit too racy. Come on in, Wallies. We welcome you.
Does this make any sense to anyone? Is it a British term? What does it have to do with sandwiches? And doesn't it seem vaguely insulting? Are we Wallies for paying $7.50 for a loosely constructed turkey sandwich?
