When in Scotland, never refer to
anything Scottish as being English.
British? Maybe. English? Only if
you want to glared at! No one
believed that it was just a slip of
the tongue as opposed to complete
ignorance of Scottish history on my
part...<g>
Question for the Aussies:
Do beavers as a species exist in
Australia? Someone who had worked
on the old Nickelodeon show "Two
Angry Beavers" once told me that
the show had to change names when
exported to Australia because in
Australia, 'beavers' does not mean
dam-building water dwellers with
big flat tails. If this is true,
what did y'all think of the show
"Leave It to Beaver" (if that show
made it to you)?!
