...and some people say we talk funny on this side of the pond.
Inhabitants of the British Isles are no longer allowed to make fun of Australian, Canadian or American accents or colloquialisms.

We're not? Mike, at the last count there were nearly 40 different dialects in a country not much bigger than the state of Florida. Go into any pub on a Friday night and listen to the politically-incorrect jokes. You'll be in stitches.

As for making fun of American accents, my grandson does an impression of Forrest Gump that is so good he could be mistaken for the Tom Hanks character anytime. :)

If I can razz you about it I guess you can do the same back.

Razz. That's a new word on me. Our nearest equivalent would be to josh or wind somebody up.

Josh or joke with.

OK I'll pass on wanting to know the Glaswegian I'm too delicate for such language.

a likely story joan ,ive seen the potty mouth language that goes on on the crossstich forum.

Oo you've been peeping again.
