WELCOME STEVE.

Good to see you are up and running Steve, Avatar and all. I'm
still here in Mountain View but not for much longer. Heading
back in a couple of hours.

names of English cities that are pronounced in a funny way:

Gloucester ("Gloster")
Leicester...
Woocester...

Edinburgh ("Edinburuh")

all trap holes for foreigners...

Let's not forget names of dishes: "spotted (....)".

I don't eat food that makes me think about Michael Jackson's nether regions.

The Scots are notorius for such shibboleths- try asking for directions to Kirkcaldy, Culross or Milngavie at Glasgow Central Station- you'll need to pronounce them Kur-kaw-day, Koo-russ, Mull-gai and Glezzga Centrull to sound anything like a local.

I guess that rules out Toad in the Hole as well, then?

Thanks, Mike. I have been having fun exploring this site. May even start a "thread" (if that's the right term). You will remember our conversation regarding the topic. Hope you have a good flight and enjoy touring New York.
