I talked to a guy at work today who is from Hartlepool, England. How far is that from you? It's always neat to meet someone from another country.

Hartlepool, that's in the 'other' country we don't like to mention scottcraft. (England) LOL
Not a million miles away, but not too near either, 229 Miles from here.

Yes, always great hearing new accents. Well sometimes it is.

I cringe when i hear some Scottish accents on TV (there are many), dunno why. LOL

Thanks for your interest though scottcraft, good to ask these things now and again.


We don't look that far apart either, maybe pop in for a coffee this afternoon scottcraft!

2 sugars and milk and a Devil Dog or Twinkie will be the treat of the year.

I haven't had one of those since i last visited New York about 8 years ago, sigh. (Love those junky things)

Might be in the "other" country, but Hartlepool is still closer to you than me! (Warwick)

 

[TheWeeBear]

Yes it in indeed Pronk. You're 333 miles away from here.

I can hear you say, 'and thank goodness for that' LOL

I used to be much closer though - 80 miles to where I used to live in Edinburgh! Been down your way a few times as we had a friend's wedding in Ayr and have been to Largs to pop over to Cumbrae.

It's a while since i've been to Millport Pronk, even though it's just down the road and accross the water, but i had a Fish Supper in Largs not too long ago (plenty salt n vinegar) mmmmm

Can't remember the last time i was in Edinburgh.

It's a small world, right enough eh ?

I'll be by this afternoon WeeBear, lol. When I was in college we had a chemistry professor who was Scottish. It was always interesting trying to understand him. My wife and I would like to visit the UK one day. She is

Oh we have plenty of castles scottcraft, and i like your 'interesting trying to understand him' comment lol.

Some scottish accents are like a non english language, so it's quite understandable not being able to understand them.

A Few Scottish Castle Links for Mrs Scottcraft

Thanks for the link, we will check them out today. I find it amazing how people from the same country can sound so different. Even in Louisiana there is a variety of accents. You guys would probably get a kick out of a good Cajun accent. Those can be tough to understand.

Yes, accents sure are a crazy thing scottcraft. (Interesting though)

 

[scottcraft]

Those are some impressive castles. What's the weather like over there in June and July?

[TheWeeBear]

Yes some nice ones scottcraft.

Well if it's anything like normal you can expect rain and more rain lol
Our summers seem to last about 2 weeks if you're lucky.

When those 2 weeks will be, you can never predict. We can have all the 4 seasons in 1 day here.

My son just turned five and we're saving for a trip to Disneyworld. Maybe after that we can save for a trip to the castles of Scotland.
