The most frequent comment people make to me is to note that for all that I've lived in England almost 16 years, I've still not lost my Oklahoma accent! It's less than it was perhaps, but still quite recognisable. Bill, on the other hand, has a lovely English/Geordie accent. Broad Geordie is very Scots sounding, but he went to University in London and so his is closer to 'standard' English. Him, she'll have found exotic.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-46276973166439005662011-08-12T06:00:44.331+01:002011-08-12T06:00:44.331+01:00Do you have a British accent by now?

One thing I can say is that if you can get your kid into a Catholic school it's considered a good deal and I guess - for a fee - the Catholic schools will take them.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-36616904352756464132011-08-10T15:27:25.394+01:002011-08-10T15:27:25.394+01:00As we are travelling North, one of the comments we...As we are travelling North, one of the comments we made in WI was about the number of Catholic and Luthern churches. There were huge Catholic churches and schools across the street from each other and we wondered where they got all the people to keep them in existance.Jonoreply@blogger.com
