Welcome SportBilly. My Mum was a Liverpublian. Whem I visited family there many of them could not understand me. My Uncle Jimmy would say, boy would you speak the King's English!

That's really funny! Ironically, we hardly speak what's now the Queen's English in Liverpool. I've found that I've had to learn to speak more slowly and use far less slang words over here as people just don't know what I'm going on about half the time, lol.

Pour1Malt, I'm pleased to say that I was able to translate your greeting thanks to Glaswegian Grandparents and a fondness for Rab C Nesbitt, lol. And McMoose, I'll almost certainly take you up on your offer. I think the missus and I are going to make the effort to make it to this year's Grandfather Mtn Games.
