I would study for years just to be able to properly order a lamb sandwich.<br /><br />ABFTS, Me mum was a Brit and even though she died when I was three I must have picked up her accent. We are so far out in the boonies that we refer to our wooden house as a tent.<br /><br />Susan Flett Swiderski, Thanks for stopping by. I have been a visitor of your off and on for sometime. I think it needs to be more on, though. I can always tell the direction of the wind by listening to its accent. Can't everybody?<br /><br />vanilla, Do you think they'll fall for it?<br /><br />Al P, I feel like I've known the Queen all my life. Whenever I see her she gives me that "special" wave of hers.<br /><br />Mich, Thanks for stopping by! Unfortunately, they don't want my money at all the Amazon locations. I think the problem is more with publishing rights, but for those of us who read it relly is a pain in the arse.<br /><br />JACKIESUE, I owe you way more crack ups that I can ever repay.
