(Oh, and David Blunkett is no longer home secretary because his love life got a bit
complicated - doesn't it always seem to for politicians?)

Yes, the 2,5% of us have heard about his little problem.. :) But we wouldn't have, if it had been "Joe Schmoe". That's why it always seems that politicians get into more trouble than anyone else.


You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra' e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg'

I'm surprised that the matter of pronouncing "-cester" (as in: Worcerster) isn't mentioned, especially since we're accused of swallowing half of the letters in spelling "doughnut"... :)


This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech Republic)

Er... Sorry to pop your superiour (please notice the "U" <g>) baloon, but... True Budweiser is made in the Czech Republic - true. But in a town called Budejowice (pronounced "boo-de-yo-VI-tseh). What's made in Pilsen (also in the Czech Republic, despite the German name) is "Pilsner" - more similiar to UK's "ale" than to UK's "beer".


Yours, rather fond of beer. Whenever in Europe (including the dis-Continental part of it), but almost never in US.
