OT - Pronunciation of words
Shelagh this is Hilarious hahahahhaha
When i was 11 , i came to visit Holland again , [ after going to Israel at 6 ] .., Aunt sent me to shop to buy milk , she told me to ask for ~`1/2 vol melk`, = 1/2 full milk not having lived there for several years i forgot the meaning and insisted that the man sells me only half a bottle not a full one !!! mirjam " Christine in Kent, Garden of England" wrote in message ... Then there's always the Cockney "Orl right, Duck?" or a typically Scots(possibly Glaswegian, right O?) "How're you, hen?" I feel like quacking or clucking, but I really love the variety in our language. Love Christine Years ago when I was a kid, we were visiting close friends of my parents. Lovely people, and she had the softest sweetest voice. I'll never forget when she asked me "Would you like a cuppa, ducks?" Of course, now I know what she was asking me, but at 9 y/o, I thought she was asking me if I wanted a cup of ducks..... tee hee. And yes, even at that tender age, I had a "cuppa". Shelagh |

LOL Cute! And yes, even at that tender age, I had a "cuppa". Matthew used to have some tea (mostly milk with a tiny bit of tea in it) in his bottle when he was one. Of course most of the time he wanted "doose" (juice)! hehehe Gem |
