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)?!
