Judy Considering that both countries have English as their mother tongue I find it amazing the different meanings that are attached to certain expressions I in my innocence (VBG) was sitting at dinner with a group of friends discussing as you might imagine Cavaliers when I happened to say that I would look in the glory hole for something when we got home! I almost got a mouthful of someone's dinner in my face and another I thought was going to need resuscitating as he choked so violently on his food. Now I ask you how was I to know that the cupboard where I dump all my dog things had a totally different meaning in the US????!!!!! Just another of the things that I will never live down I suppose VBG
