As you've left the mother land, you have left behind the mother tongue. Though you haven't realized it, your grammar has been sufficiently commingled that you are no longer an authority on the English language.

Sorry. Turn in your card to the yeoman at the gate.

No I'm Engelsh. We prefer the house prices, the lovely scenery and the lack of traffic jams (all the way out here in the wilds of West Wales at least), but we hate the lack of a decent airport and all the signs being bilingual. It's enough to make you bipolar.

But, when all is said and done, being Engelsh is better than being into sheep

just remember when you quote someone and disagree with them it is akin to challenging them to a duel and then ordering them to build a shrubbery!

You are not mistaken.

This is a discussion forum...not an affirmation forum. If you can't take criticism or opposing viewpoints, and if you can't defend your position on a topic you've created, then it's best to avoid posting here and in internet forums in general.

TRF is overall a very cordial site with reasoned discussion.

I'm guessing forum etiquette doesn't apply to Jocke and Paul.
