I'm at a loss for words, but now I want to jibber-jabber to sheep in a funny way! (Yes, speaking all day in an Irish ak-sent.)

:p
only 3% of England speak standard English, a lot of Normal English has a lot of regional dialects, that many people outside of Britain struggle to understand

I am impressed by the need to be independent. So much so, people avoid integration by retaining their language and culture.

Glad these holdouts improve diversity and prevent homogenization.

And they seem good people, too, real shepherds on the green.

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

We have two tier pricing in Cairns. A local in the know saves 30-40% on any ticket to an attraction.
