Australian researchers estimate 18 million spoons go missing

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Especially since that time has long passed and you'd think the Brits would move with the times. I am afraid that persons of the southern part of North America still get the generic Y word in this country - southern as in south of Canada I mean.

Quote: I am afraid that persons of the southern part of North America still get the generic Y word in this country Assuming that you mean "Yank", I don't think you have to avoid using the term. At least, I don't get offended when those not of my country use it. It's the tone that I would be offended by, more than the word itself. "Pom=soapdodgers" Would you say that those fellows would be a bit slippery?....he said with tongue in cheek....

I was listening to an account (by the Seekers) of living in an English boarding house in the 1960's. They asked where the bath was and were told which bus to catch to go there!!!!

Amelia Here Forever, by Request :) Registered: 07/30/01 Posts: 18416 Loc: Out standing in a field	Yeah, they do have an aversion to washing. They think the American "daily bath" is a bother.LOL This is what I was told at one B&B. _________________________ "Earth - insane asylum for the universe." - Maxine " Do not love the world or anything in the world.
