Story - Please let me be adopted!
Still Mom was concerned: Those British television stations...are you sure
DD will understand them? Are they subtitled in English? I reassured her that they do speak English in Britian, and have for quite a while.

LOL!!!! Please warn me next time, I'll put down my coffeee cup before
reading. KathyH "Kathy Nicklas-Varraso" wrote in message .com... I say this often, usually tongue in cheek , after talking to my parents. Tonight's phone call was to update Mom on my doctor's appointments, to yak about various family matters and to talk about the upcoming trip to Germany. Yes, my heart is broken because I cannot go. Every doctor I see tells me it would be absolutely impossible for me to manage the flight and drive to my grandparent's village. But still I hope for a miracle. But back to Mom. She said that my aunt and uncle have bought a dual mode VCR, so that my daughter can bring VHS tapes to Germany and watch them there. Mom is a movie maniac, so she wants DD to bring boatloads of tapes. I hemmed and hawed a little, saying that the tapes are pretty unwieldy, so DD would probably take maybe two or three at most. Then I remembered: My aunt and uncle have a satellite dish: DD can watch British television stations without any problems, and she really likes watching "the Simpsons" in as many foreign dubbed versions as possible. Still Mom was concerned: Those British television stations...are you sure DD will understand them? Are they subtitled in English? I reassured her that they do speak English in Britian, and have for quite a while. Mom sounds like further research may be necessary before believing me. After all, Don't the Brits may have switched to something entirely different from English. Heck, I've been mistaken before, but I feel pretty confident this time. Kathy N-V |

Yes, you must be adopted, or you take after your fathers side of the family,
or the smart genes skipped a generation. Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Kathy Nicklas-Varraso" wrote in message .com...

My response, exactly. But I've also seen some British movies and TV
shows where subtitles would be welcome! As well as a gloss on some of the slang and regionalisms.

Whahahahahahaw!!!! Everyone over here is always telling me that us
Americans have messed up their language! That's hilarious! Don't get me wrong, there are some words/phrases that are different, I've been here for 4.5 years and still find new words, but it's definately still English! One of these days me and DH (he's English) will get around to writing an American English to British English Dictionary! Pumps = Sneakers Aubergines = Eggplants Corgettes = Zuccini Pickle = A spread with veggies in it that's difficult to describe; ANYTHING pickled, not just cucumbers Marmite = AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

It shows that you did not go through WW11 Amy.
Marmite was part of the staple diet, spread on toast and bread. A valuable vitamin B source for food deprived children. My DH has it on his toast every morning.
