The taste of the UK
Hi all, have been registered here a while silently viewing and reading, now that I finally got my gwapa lady here in the UK I just wanted to post this as it was so funny, I got my poor fiancée to try these 3 items, 1- marmite, 2-Guinness , 3- red wine, all 3 were met with the reaction I was expecting, marmite made her eyes water and run to the sink, Guinness made her pull some strange faces I never seen before and red wine made her spit it out at the dinner table with my parents present, well she did make me try dried fish and Balut so fairs fair!
Anyway we very happy now together after 3 years chatting and 7 trips to see her, we all set for our big day on 27th July and will be attending the barrio Festival at Apps Court on 21st July
Anyone in the surrey area I'm sure she would love to hear from you, she loves to text!
Take care (amping)

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
All may not be lost.
My ex learned how to cook English style, got used to eating Marmite, drinking wine, and in fact used to make the best Toad in the hole and Yorkshire puds that I've ever tasted.

Ahhh but are the scones pronounced "skon" - sounds like "gone" or "skown" - sounds like "phone"?
This is vitally important. I am told the sounds like gone one is correct, and the phone one is a northern thing used by northerners who think it sounds posh, and they are wannabe home counties people and somehow think people in the south say it like phone.

Keith taught me to say it as scones like gone (coz I pronounced it sounding like "phone" before).. I just like the plain butter scones (I find that Tesco makes the best butter scones, for me at least )..no currants as I don't like currants

Ah I just tested Jaz without prompting her at all about the north/ south divide, apparently she is a true Yorkshire girl ! Scone / gone was spoken with no hesitation. How about the confusing live as in not dead and live as in electrical.

"Pikeys", ... I've always understood were gypsies - travelling folk, in other words - whereas, the term, "crumpets" was usually slang for vivacious, sexy ladies ... ... up here in Scotland, anyhow.
