Claire...just ask Andy...he did meet me...
BUT...it is very easy to imagine me...I am EXACTLY the same in real life as I am here...so all those formal reserved UKers that are so brave on line just look at me with those BIG eyes.... |

I did study British English in school...in fact, I couldn't understand a word when I first came here and the only thing I've watched was Benny Hill show cause I understood it...it's a slang that I have no clue about... |
