Pig-in-a-poke - A confidence trick in the middle ages;
The scheme entailed the sale of a suckling pig in a poke (bag). The wriggling bag would actually contain a cat (not particularly prized as a source of meat) that was sold to the victim in an unopened bag. |

don't forget...you guys butter your buns over there too laugh
Although I am curious about something. In America we have the states and each state is almost like it's own country. Example: Texas is nothing like NY, Cali is nothing like Arkansas, etc. Is it similar over in the UK? There's nowt wrong with a buttered bun. Each counnty (and country) has its own "culture" the Welsh, Irish and Scottish have their own language (Gaelic) but it differs for each country. The Scotts speak Gaidhlig, the Irish-Gaeilge and the Welsh - Cymraeg, then there are the Orkney islands (an archipelago in northern Scotland) their language is Norroena, although not so widely spoken in our modern times. When it comes to mainland England, there are some differences in regional "slangs" and accents. You know as East Ender from the way they speak and the same goes for anyone from Cornwall, Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester etc. On the whole we are able to understand each because we all speak a common language - English, I guess some may call this globalisation. |

Two separate nations. Two entirely different cultures. Yet so deeply intertwined. What is your personal relationship with the U.K. or if you're English, what is your personal relationship with the U.S? British colonists owe the very existence of the United States today and have constantly had a direct impact on the evolution of American culture. From the Beatles invasion, the pop era of the 80s, Austin Powers, Lady Di, the Royal Family, James Bond, Harry Potter, a plethora of British rock bands over the last 40 years, PM Gordon and Blair, the BBC, etc. how has British culture affected you? A long time ago............... Back in the days of the Raj I jest. I think most countries have been influenced by the culture of British Literary writings; Shakespeare being at the top of the list. I know for a fact that many Americans aspire to be like the British when it comes to social etiquette, some Americans class themselves as "well read" when they can quote from works the great bard. They are happiest when they can trace (and claim) their Irish,Scottish, Welsh or English heritage. Americans celebrate St,Patrics Days bigger than we do over here, and from personal experience, Americans seem to be fascinated by a British accent ( except Dan's) Yes,some Americans see us Brits as stuck up, boring, stiff upper lip and humourless..............We call that eccentricity; but that is for another thread. |

Either way i think my point has been made. The answer to question #3 is hard to find. In answer to your question; Dionne Warwick, Angela Davis,Alek Wek, Sophie Okonedo,Whoopi Goldberg,Cicely Tyson,Melba Tolliver............ Should I go on? How much more positive have these stalwarts got to be to convince you that gone are the days of Prissy from Gone With The Wind? Look lady dont kom in 3 pages / hours later tryn to make a point. I hv closed ( and left this post several times ) Only to return to find a sarcastic post waitn 4 mE !! geesh. Sum ppl. It is difficult to imagine that any topic or thread in a public forum is a safe haven for one member to post a topic and other members sit in silent acquiescence. Note; "Honest- unafraid ppl plz respond"......... I did as instructed. |

how do you handle when someone gives you the silent treatment? I am rarely speechless so it's a concept I don't quite get lol. Whistle a little ditty over and over again, it soon gets on their nerves and they tell you to shut the hey up, then you say "I thought you were not speaking to me" I can't whistle Easy peasy..............Hum! |
