Hi Alan most of what you say is true, but in the uk it's a it different, it's made up of four very different countries, each part has its own culture and language, they are proud of that and rightly so.if you were to say to a person from the highlands of Scotland or Welsh valleys that they were living in England you might get a slap, not that I'm justify violence Maggi, I hasten to add.

[Maggi Young]

Quite so, John - violence is never the answer -  but not being offered any cake with your tea  is fair enough in my book!

[johnstephen29]

Hi Maggi that is true, but it is nice to have something to chew on while you are drinking your tea. At this very moment I have had a cup of Barry's tea and a slice of homemade fruit soda, heaven.

[Maggi Young]

....and richly deserved, I'm sure!

We in New Zealand think of Canadians as Canadians, not Americans, because we suffer from the same nonsense from many others who think we are Australians. We HATE that!

That wasn't spelling, just a joint malfunction of the keyboard and fingers
