Well from your part of the world it would put you in England .. cold shiver just ran down my spine ... ach tooch :D
:)

You would love Canada, you get the choice for bilingual state schools, my friends 3 girls were fluent in French and English by age 8, its a brilliant scheme, because they learn it so young it just happens. I seriously regret my kids not getting languages till later on , one did get language from grade 4 in OZ, but it was very basic, counting 1-10 hello/goodbye stuff, not really enough to do much. By the time it got serious it was high school and too late.

Still my mum learnt German :eek: when she was 65, she takes tourists round London and wanted to understand what they were saying, theres hope for us all then :D

Back to the lettuce topic, sorry for that.

[whisper] Is anyone else going to point out that Cornwall (BixLand) IS in England, already, or am I the only one daft enough to stick his head above the parapet? [/whisper] :D

BTW, Ceri, is 'ach tooch' Welsh for 'Ah-choo'? :D

Hence the joke .. Don't you know Cornish people do not consider themselves to be in England? .. now don't tell bix he is in England for gawds sake :)

Oes map gyda chi? (have you got a map)


sorry bix .. just joking :)

Ahhh... right. So the Corns have delusions of grandeur, just like the Welsh, then. It's all part of England, anyway. Ask any foreigner....

(Now watch the fur fly!!!) :D :scared:

As I've said in the past, I don't hit pussy cats.

" anyway. Ask any foreigner" quote from you ..... :D well what's your answer then Mr Foreigner , I mean Mr English man
:)

Stop get getting excited about your lettuces.

You've started jayr off now.

Sorry, my lovely, I have to correct you there... I was born in Bridgend General Hospital. :D

I am, by blood, half Welsh, quarter Scots, and quarter Irish. I do not have a single drop of filthy English blood in me! :D :D

(But as I'm 100% Aussie by inclination, let ME tell YOU.....) :D

sorry to hear that... couldn't you be born in a nicer town? :D
Penybont eh? well never mind, I won't hold that against you

Cheers:)

I know - I went back after living in several other countries, just to see what it was like. Big disappoinment. :( Dirty, rubbish blowing around the streets, grim people.... I got out again, pretty bloody sharpish.

went back to Gower.. happy smiling people, fresh air, beautiful beaches and mountains... wonder why I left? Can't wait to go back, after 12 years of living away here and in Asia .. Haven't seen anything that matches it.

gawd we've hijacked the cost of living thread.

Back to the cost of food ... I bought tinned laverbread back with me, at two pounds twenty pence each I think they were, if that's any help, in Swansea market .. now that's expensive.. brought 15 tins back :D

Monster munch - one pound (in the pound shop, I was going to ask the assistant how much they were..lol)
four bags of multi pack walkers crisps $3 (pounds) on special buy 4 for the cost of three.

:)

Two sirloin steaks, each about 1.5" thick, and a chook - $12. :)

And the steaks fell apart - didn't need a knife! :D

1kg Eye fillet, for Chateaubraind, $20.00 - in the fridge now waiting to go in the oven tonight :D

It'll look like my avatar :D
