How do you say "Not guilty" in Welsh, G? You might want to practice that one, just in case. -- STC / M0TEY / http://twitter.com/ukradioamateur |

I don't have my Enigma machine handy!!! ;-) A few years ago, I stoppped for a couple of days at a farmhouse near Carmarten(sp) . Nice people, most Welsh people are. I asked the housewife how she did in Welsh. "I miss some nuances, of course, I am from North Wales, only been living here for fifty years." -- greymaus.ireland.ie Just_Another_Grumpy_Old_Man |

Back in the bad old days, two houses on different sides of the same freeway... a phone call from one house to the other... was a long-distant toll call !!! That is sort of analogous to speaking dialects !!! :-) -- numerist at aquaporin4 dot com |

The town of Lloydminster sits right on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border. There's some interesting billing there. -- /~\ lid (Charlie Gibbs) \ / I'm really at ac.dekanfrus if you read it the right way.

I know someone that could walk from one side of their house to the other and their mobile coverage would go from Vodafone Holland to Vodafone Belgium. |
