I think that is so cute Pete. I swear some animals are human, our bull dog liked tea with milk and sugar. But he eat human food as well not tinned or dried if it was made then. Mo

I remember hanging the paper chains across the room and those decorations that are like fans that you open up and hang in the window or somewhere. Not fashionable but was traditional. Good luck with your decor. Mo

Thanks Mike, it is different I have never seen that before. Mo

Jenny - that has been my experience and the incident I mention that Alberta commented on was isolated. I mix with a lot of people of all nationalities every week at the farm and never a day there goes by without someone asking where I come from. And as you say people say they love my accent. A...

Alberta - My post may have come over different to what I meant. I was hurt more than anything not annoyed, it was the way she said it not what she said. I thought it was very rude. I was polite to her and didn't say anything back about her accent. I have a problem understanding people who call...

Mike what is the white marker half way down? Mo

I thought the google earth maps were neat, not having to search for them. I didn't check but I guess they are google. It is lunch time here Graham, I'm going to make some tea biscuits/scones as it is just pouring down, then I will go shopping even if it hasn't stopped. Mo

Mike - The only in door bowling here is at the seniors centre so it is more like carpet bowling. There is a a facility in Toronto which is more like flat green and is done in alleys but it is a long way in the winter so I have never got involved. I remember the flat green down south when we went...

Mike - I like Crown Bowling much more than flat, here it is mostly flat. We tried for years to get an out door green here in town but no luck. It is a very short season, although there are greens at the towns either side of us. I played a lot when I was young as my father was President of the...

I had to leave a message with the adult daughter of someone and she said. "I can't understand you, your accent is so thick". I was furious and when I saw her mom I said "Oh your daughter said my accent was too strong for her to understand." She just said "That is my daughter". That changed my...

Beryl - I think we would all agree with you but as much as we would like everyone to feel that way they don't. You certainly don't have a Birmingham accent but you have lived most of your life here. I think you came at a much younger age than me, in that case people do loose what ever accent...

Brenda - Our son was 5 when we arrived so he was like your son, even the crossing guard would ask him questons just to hear his accent. His kindergarten teacher didn't understand why he wouldn't speak up in class but children can be mean. But then so can adults and on the very odd occassion I'm...

I've lived outside the UK for 31 years and I have still have a Birmingham accent. As I'm a volunteer tour guide on a special farm I constantly have people either ask where I'm from or comment on my accent. This week I was talking about the cows and I said Herefordshire and one of the staff...

Is it the white building centre left. Is it being built on University property? My great niece is a doctor and did some of her training there. The QE and Maternity were so modern when they were built, I am sure this will be incredible. :) Mo

John that is amazing and great you are doing well. Keep it up, you must have a good attitude as well as good doctors.:) I have my cards for the children when they were born as well. Mermaid.:)Mo

My intentions are good but as you say it is getting around to it. Mo

Judy - As I said earlier my dad taught me to swim but it wasn't until after my son was born and I started swimming with a friend every week in Northfield that I got good at it. I learned to dive off the side and could go almost across the pool under water although I was still afraid of being...

Judy - We had to walk to the baths and they always made us go in the deep end. I think it was my fear of the water that made me dislike it. After I nearly drowned in Cliftonville/Margate lido I was terrified of the deep end. It was my own fault I went down the slide in the deep end and went...
