	English is a fascinating language, particularly the change of usage of some words over a period of time :-D I'm just glad that I was born English and didn't have to learn it as a second language. :-D :-D :-D It was different for my OH as even though she was born in England she didn't learn English until she was five :-0

	LOL there are so many regions of England that I could suggest she may have lived in therefore could not speak English :-D

Member Since: March 2007 Posts: 95,685 Send Message	Allan	Report	13 Mar 2017 08:39
	The correct expression is " 'Ey oop, luv!" :-P but speaking of earlier times, I remember my first bland date :-)

	All who want to escape, even momentarily, from the 'serious' thread are most welcome here :-D I've changed my mind about not wanting a vote in UK elections :-0 It appears that it could be fun after thirty-odd years away from the old Country. Ah! The mischief that I could achieve :-D :-D

	At least people had someone to vote for when none of the above would have been a great option.
