Anne,
Don't think I'll be across the pond for that one. But thanks for letting everyone know. Enjoy your British words though: ring, instead of call; cup of tea (I thought you say spot of tea) instead of coffee, etc. I know we americans have screwed up the english language. So it's good to hear how proper english is spoken. Not being a wise guy, honest. I do enjoy it. I like the way the British always understate everything . . . and the Americans always embellish.
Hope you enjoy the speakers. Let us know if they have any hot tips for us.
One of the Yanks,
Steve W
