Late night and chocolate biskit.

Done a bit more on the drawing, but am now at the keyboard and spending some time in the company of Marcus Archibald.

Good morning. I've got a late shift today. Unfortunately my intern is still coming at nine so I've still got to go in early.

Looks like a nice morning. Time for my perambulation.

Morning .
Oh dear ! I had better resign !
I asked the chap on the meat lorry where he was from ! It turned out he was a Brummie!
I thought his accent was from Newcastle !

At least he was not from Sunderland and told him Newcastle that's world war 3 with knobs on.

It sparked a bit of a riot as his assistant was from Royal Wooten Basset ! Posh!

I might have recognised his accent if he was from Dudley !

I have a bit of difficulty in distinguishing between Newcastle and Welsh accents at times .

There use to be a meat seller that did local car boots around here from Brum he was always saying he was a Villa supporter

I spent 18 weeks in the Netherlands at about this time of year maintaining teleprinters. I thought I might have the opportunity to learn some Dutch. No chance, they all wanted to practice their English! We had a long discussion about the word 'arc' one day. It was a while before I realised that they were talking about an electric one!

And I think I discovered why my grandfather, a fisherman/seaman from Wivenhoe, used the phrase "H O T warm".

I had problems at junior school over the Ark ! Why on earth would Moses build it out of gold and silver? It's bound to sink ! When on earth are they going to sail it ? They seem to carry it wherever they go !
