Speaking of the classics, did anybody else grow up loving the story of Rapunzel?

The castle which is supposed to be at the heart of that legend, is not far from me.

Cool.

When I was a kid, for awhile my family lived in a two story house though the 2nd story part was just the bedroom I shared with my older sister. I had a small dog, a motherless pup that I adopted at 2 weeks old and bottle fed until he could eat and drink on his own. When we lived in that house and he needed to go out, I would lower him in a basket tied to a rope--he would jump out, do his business, jump back in and I would pull him up.

I literally grew up with that dog and he was my only dowry when I married Hombre. He died in my arms of old age about three years later.

Cool.

Have you been to the USA before Roy?

Yes, as I was on ship we called in at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, port Everglades, SanFrancisco, Los Angeles.
On a trip in 2005 I visited Vegas, LA, Grand Canyon, Laughlin.
With my English West Country accent I found most Americans I talked to couldn’t understand me, I had to talk slower and use “outsider” English.

Some things you just miss. A buddy gave me about five pounds of moose liverwurst, delicious stuff but limited to what you can do with it. I finally tracked down some suitable pumpernickel bread at the Commissary and am now prepared to feast on liverwurst and raw onions on pumpernickel. I even have a suitable mustard to schmear all over it!
My crippled kids are doing well. They are alert and growing okay. They are even using their hind legs a bit more but you know frostbite hurts, a lot. Waiting is hell because the outcome of their injuries can be very dire, up to and including the loss of their feet.

Yes we yanks do sometimes have a few deficiencies in deciphering various dialects and sometimes require a translator to understand others who speak English. Not only from your side of the big pond but from various parts of our own country.

I can usually do pretty well with most US accents, except the NE coast, like Maine & NH. Then I may ask for them to repeat.

Then there was a kid I went to school with who was born here and Scottish by blood, then ended up moving over there. When he came home here for a visit, I needed an interpreter. It wasn't just his accent, but also the language/dialect

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Terry lives around 32 miles away from me, my accent is next to similar, if I go out drinking at a pub with similar accents I’ll adapt and be yokelised, I do try to reign in the slang when talking, me at full pelt West Country might be totally baffling to yanks.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

This was no1 in the charts for weeks in the West Country where I do live.,
