Re: Thank you Veterans.
Not if you live along the eastern seaboard of the United States. Seriously
Dave, I speak three languages, and I think that these guys are full of crap.
If you want to come to our country with your outlandish dialect or "Queen's
English" or whatever you call it, that is fine with me. We will be glad to
provide interpreters, signs to the "water closet", or even "pubs", just like
they have in Spain.

Re: Thank you Veterans.
I wandered into the only English restaurant in Albuquerque once where they
had "pub tart" on the dessert menu. I thought about explaining that "pub
tart" is a woman, but decided against it :-)
As I'm Scottish, I already have an outlandish dialect here !
I think I've worked out main things not to say (e.g)
"I'm dying for a ***" = "I could really use a cigarette"
"Have you got a spare rubber" = "Gimme an eraser"
"I'm beavering away" = "I'm working hard"
and Rest Rooms here are rooms with comfortable sofas, coffee making
facilities etc with no toilets/water closits/whatever !

Re: Thank you Veterans.
I wandered into the only English restaurant in Albuquerque once where they
had "pub tart" on the dessert menu. I thought about explaining that "pub
tart" is a woman, but decided against it :-)
As I'm Scottish, I already have an outlandish dialect here !
I think I've worked out main things not to say (e.g)
"I'm dying for a ***" = "I could really use a cigarette"
"Have you got a spare rubber" = "Gimme an eraser"
"I'm beavering away" = "I'm working hard"
and Rest Rooms here are rooms with comfortable sofas, coffee making
facilities etc with no toilets/water closits/whatever !
