    I’ve always doubted his supposed Peruvian birth.

    Where the hell are you going to get marmalade in the middle of the Peruvian jungle?

    I think he just says it to make himself sound mysterious.

      I mean, it’s listed as his official birth place on his passport and all that, so…

      Though, if it somehow got updated to Columbia instead, I wouldn’t be surprised.

        Oh I’m not saying he’s not pulling off a massive fraud against the UK government and the people of Britain. They’ve all bought into this Peruvian lie.

        Let me ask you: have you ever heard Paddington speak a single word of Spanish?

          Only in the Spanish dub, which doesn’t count. You’ve made a solid argument that is beyond my ability to refute. Instead I’ll accept your position as the correct one and adopt your views as my own.
