Re: Canadian Equivalent words

My eldest daughter, an Anglo-Swiss-Canadian, fries up the PC cheese ones and pours HP sauce over them. They're not bad eaten in this local style.

Re: Canadian Equivalent words

Re: Canadian Equivalent words

I don't think my children know any kids who have two parents of the same nationality, though some have parents who look roughly the same as each other. They, the children, seem genuinely not to...

Re: Canadian Equivalent words

Re: Canadian Equivalent words

If by "wound up" you mean irked by your presumption, young lady, then you are quite correct. It is one thing for people raised in the remote corners of the Empire to adopt slack usage and localisms...

Re: Canadian Equivalent words

Is that perhaps a cathedral ceiling? One where there was a flood or similar which irreparably damaged the plaster so they tore the proper ceiling out and painted the inside of the roof?
