No problem, John!

I spent the summer in the UK when I graduated from High School. My Mum's Scottish uncle was always telling to speak the King's English. So I am quite aware of the difficulty we have understanding one another with our common language.

We sometimes have trouble with our own regional accents. I like some older English comedies like Are You being Served, As Time Goes By, Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, Keeping Up Appearances, Jeeves A Wooster, and Sci-Fi like Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Adventures, K-9, and Torchwood. My hats off to the BBC for these.

Looking good Mael.

Do Canadians say "that is a nice coup-aye...eh."

Joe I: don't forget Poirot, Miss Marple, and Foyles War.

Is Badger's Drift a real place?

My connection messed me up, I had included Waiting For God, but when I redid it, it didn't come out.

McElmurry:

The shows you mention, I haven't seen.

"Waiting on God" and The Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett are the only two BBC productions I found great enough to get or record on DVD. Most of the PBS stuff here is "entertainment not worth watching" for me.

Agree to disagree. Just think if everyone thought the same way. shivering.

Last night, on my break at Wally World, I went in to the Tropical Smoothie Café for one of their delicious smoothies. As I was the only customer there the gals took the opportunity to ask me about my kilt wearing.

They wanted to know if I was Scottish and why I wore the kilt. I told them I do have Scottish ancestry and I do belong to the local Scottish Society. Wearing the kilt gives me opportunities to tell others about the Scottish Society. But I mainly wear the kilt as I find it a very comfortable garment to wear.

At Wally World, I can wear only a khaki kilt to comply with their “dress” policy of khaki p@nts. In my day job, I wear tartan kilts about twice a week. It was a nice encounter, but I didn’t tell them I enjoy kilt wearing for the attention I get from the ladies.
