"Ping-pong was invented on the dining tables of England in the 19th century, and it was called Wiff-waff!
"And there, I think, you have the difference between us and the rest of the world.
"Other nations, the French, looked at a dining table and saw an opportunity to have dinner; we looked at it and saw an opportunity to play Wiff-waff."
Boris Johnson
