Surely the sophisticated British first family would act in no such way ...
Cherie Blair began her antipodean tour with a double blunder by allegedly calling her Kiwi hosts Australians ...

The British Prime Minister's wife made the gaffe twice in front of VIPs including New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark ...

"And, for all the research she hadn't found which country she was in."
