Wow, Dai, do you have elekterisitey in the valleys?  It's just a 
circulating rumour here in Weston-super-Mare :)  American slang 
hasn't penetrated much here either, but then no-one outside the West 
Country can understand local burr anyway.  It was once voted the 
second most annoying accent in Britain, with only Cockney being 
worse.  If you're not familiar with Cockney, watch "Eastenders" for 
all of 6 seconds, and you'll get the picture.  With my Canadian 
accent, I'm downright exotic here.  And yes, I lived here for several 
weeks before I could follow what the hell the locals were saying to 
me!

My MIL is from Abertillery.  You anywhere near there?

Time to put the gas lights out!
