This is why I don't eat (dubious) shrimps if I'm not on the coast. Except if you are buying deluxe quality fresh seafood, where do you think your shrimps come from when you eat them in PP restaurants ? :bad:

Where are you from? The only people I have ever heard refer to the plural of shrimp as shrimps are from Louisiana.

I’m not from Louisiana and I say shrimps
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Good on the Cambodian inspectors , I was surprised they even inspect, seems Cambodia is a lot more advanced than thought.

Shrimps is the normal plural in the UK, I thought it was only Americans who said shrimp.
Tiles is another one, the UK plural of tile.
Then just to keep everyone guessing everything gets turned on it’s head with LEGO, that’s correct, the plural of LEGO is LEGO not LEGOs.
