Geoff:
Just watch the civilised bit! :-) I may now be in Somerset but I spent 45 years in 
London - SW18/SW19 (Wandsworth and Wimbledon), so your SE might not be 
so far away.

My eldest son was a Christian schools worker in Dulwich for several years 
before escaping to Toronto which gives me an excuse to see their marvellous 
tram system. Whereabouts are you in SE L?

> By the way, as I said in my intro post when I joined earlier today, I will continue to use UK English expressions and spelling when posting here, despite what all the little red lines beneath my 'misspellings' try and force me to do. :o)  I trust that everyone here, be they American, Brit or from wherever is quite capable of working out my meaning from the context and if not then try asking your kids, they might just surprise you with their grasp of 'Britspeak'. :o)

Geoff:
Don't apologise to this lot about UK English. I've banged away using it for ten 
years on this group now and it might be nice not to have to explain to someone 
for the umpteenth time about Spotted Dick and that bathrooms are where you 
go to wash thoroughly etc. etc.

Don't worry about age. you're still young (by my standards).

Don't take my comments about group members too seriously; they're really 
quite nice when sedated.
