Adam that's much better I was imagining everyone pushing in all over the place, that would totally drive me crazy id start showing everyone the queueing system. (Ahem it's an orderly line whomever is first to arrive and follow in succession) I can't help it I'm such a control freak!
And yeah Cornwall such a beautiful place, I never knew England held such beauty but have visited so many beautiful places down there now it's hard to choose my favourite place in Cornwall although I think Falmouth and porthleven are high on my list! Alas you also know of the dangers of the YouTube disease then? Once someone is infected they become contagious and within weeks they try to spread the deadly virus by forcing others to watch infected YouTube videos. Pah! I say no more
Quite.
Sometimes it's useful, for example on the Forum you can't post videos direct so have to post them on You Tube and then copy and paste them here.
I've also enforced queuing in my local area.
British people usually tut, rather than react to queue jumpers.
We think bad words, but just tut.
In the line at the airport once a huge man pushed in front of me.
I got confused and thought 'tut, tut'' but called the man a very rude name indeed out loud.
He was enormous and hairy and looked around at me with a huge snarl.
So I did the only thing possible in such a situation.
I started twitching and swearing and pretended I had Tourettes Syndrome.
Unfortunately, the guy was in the seat next to me, so i had to keep this up all the way to Addis Ababa.
Only to find out as we were disembarking that he was Russian and spoke no English.

Agreed. You're welcome to stay. We even offer a free international translation service for when (proper ;) ) British English proves incomprehensible to those in north America and vice versa :D
And John sometimes teaches us Scot's words.:)
And Lyn some Welsh.
And me, a bit of Arabic, on occasion. :)

With cinnamon

For the recipe.
It's liquid when hot and pored on to deserts as a sauce, but when cold it's more jelly (jello?) like and is used to top or fill flans and doughnuts.
Yummy when cold with fish fingers dipped in it.


I always thought of it like pudding.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha that just cracked me right up! So funny. Yeah unfortunately I'm not one of them people who tuts I'm more of a show and tell person. For example lady at the post office tried to queue jump in front of me, my reaction was to then say extremely loudly Hello Madam, no I think you'll find it was me who was next but it's the back to front system in this small post office so what we should do is form an orderly queue so you was after me and then proceeded to move lots of elderly women into a snaking queue around our village post office and yes lots of them were tutting and pulling faces but no one said a word and what should have taken two minutes took ages! Can't help it have to take over I'm so annoying that when I think about it it makes me cringe! My fella hates my over the top ness and sneaks away when I go all clSsroom teacher on everyone!
