LOL, I knew of that phrase too! That must have given her a little bit of a culture shock! LOL. I was taken aback on my first trip to Australia, when the guy next to me in a bar said he was pissed. I was like ' I didn't do anything'....only later did I find out that 'pissed' is 'drunk' in AussieLand!

We had a student in my High School who was from England. His name was Neville. In a health class (which is where they have sex ed, etc.), during a test, he stood up and asked if anyone had a rubber. It took the teacher and 5 minutes to get us to settle down...it was hilarious. For the Listers that don't understand, in England, a rubber is a pencil eraser. In America, it's a condom!

She started attending a local Houston high school, and one day there a curious fellow student started asking her questions: "So, where'd you live before you came to Houston?" "In England." "Oh. Where's that?" "Umm, east of here." "Oh really ... what language do they speak?" At that point, she broke off the conversation. -Ken -----Original Message----- From: Brett Barabash [mailto:BBarabash at TappeConstruction.com] Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 11:40 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT Friday Hey, at least you are aware that the US has neighbors to the north, unlike another individual (not on this list) who thought that Alaska was an island because her US map didn't show any other land bordering it.
