Happy July 4th - the English are coming !

Post by stormwarning »

Well at least one Englishman is - I moved to the US today.

I marked the occasion by flying in wearing my traditional red uniform, otherwise known as the England (Football) away strip. The significance appears to have been lost on airport officials, hire car attendants, and Dunkin' Doughnuts staff alike...

Hope you had a nice day, y'awl.

Do you like your toast done on one side?

Good luck.

Red? Aren't you Leeds? In any case, welcome, and if you're in New York I'd be happy to buy you a drink at some point, maybe the next time SMM is in town.

y'awl.


***big shiver***

it's "y'all" - an abbreviation of "you all" which is always plural.

Howdy, stormwarning and welcome.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

Well done. A new career in a new town. (And will you be moving into David's neighbourhood?)
