OK, for anyone in the US looking at the UK......I bought a great
little book,
the Lonely Planet guide to British phrases. Essentially, it
translates all
that UK stuff into proper English. And tells about events, like the
Virgin
Festival.
So....what's a "tied house"? Or "stabilisers" (I hope no GTSer needs
those!)
And, today is Santes Dwynwen's feast day, and she's the Welsh patron
saint of
lovers.
So, until those Brits learn proper English, I recommend it!

P.S. Just to show how complicated this Brit stuff is, my Lonely Planet
phrasebook for Moroccan Arabic is only about half or two-thirds as
long. A
much easier transition????
US and UK, two people separated by a common language.
Stabilisers are training wheels. I don't know what a tied house is.
