Struth! I got 100% cobber! Break out a tinnie & light the barbie! Obviously I watch too much Neighbours... everybody needs good naaaaaayburrs..... British-English 90% Toad-in-the-hole is *not* sausage baked in pastry - it's sausage baked in a yorkshire pudding batter!!! And a British babysitter is a babysitter, *not* a 'minder'. A 'minder' is more of a personal security guard! Who devised that quiz??? Still got 100% though ;-) Irish English 90% 90%, which considering the last time I was in Ireland was in the 1960s is not bad ;-) Cheers, helen s Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com

Anyway, not bad if I may say so for someone whose native tongue is not English.

No-one calls anyone a "cobber" any more, for example. Yowie
