You'll qualify for 'ethnic minority, doesn't speak either of the official Canadian languages' status over here.

do you think I could claim refugee status in Canada because i'm being persecuted by the expats site users for my Boltoness

They're everywhere these Boltonists, least i'm not from wigan, can you imagine the pie jokes!

once upon a time we (Boltonians) were admired and respected throughout the world for our cotton mills, now people just think we talk funny (actually we do talk funny but dont tell the other expats)

teamsal

p.s no offence meant to anyone claiming refugee status or from Wigan, i'm only joshing.

I think you should usher in a new era of 'Dark Satanic Mills' and grind the poor under your heels.

Don't worry about being understood as most Canadians are far too polite to acknowledge that they don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Being from Stockport, I understood what you said there with little need for the dictionary.

Or translated to make it easier for you:

'Appen lass - A'm from t'ther saad o'town me and got wot yer onabart wi no need fer t' word boook.

Generally it's Irish for us which doesn't bother me as before when we used to holiday around the Med we got used to being mistaken for Dutch, Danish or German (we're both blonde so no farkin' jokes ).
