Indeed, Hertfordshire born and bred, that's me, with an annoying squeaky
high-pitched Received Pronunciation voice that you're lucky you can't
hear. (But I like to hope I'm neither a moron nor a troll...)

The Yes Men's siesta jab wasn't aimed at Latin America at all: the
meeting was full of EU bigwigs, and the Italian higherups got rather
rapidly offended. (This was during the Berlusconi Interregnum, if I
recall.)

(FWIW `jape' is a fairly rare word in UK English as well, but it fits a
Yes-Men-style hugely-prolonged and elaborate sending-up better than
anything else does.)
