Why do they hate us?

This Millionaire coughing scam trial just won't stop providing laughs -- including to the courtroom, at American expense. Today's London Times reports on the following exchange:
More humour followed as Adrian Redgrave, QC for Mrs Ingram, questioned the gameshow host about the speed at which contestants were taken through the questions at different stages of the show.

For example, at the beginning, he tended to "squeeze them through" the first few "low level" ones as quickly as possible. "Has anyone got the first question wrong?" the barrister inquired. "It happened in America," Mr Tarrant replied to general courtroom amusement.
