No... no bans around here. This is the Ale House. A place where I can eat Yam yams and a scooby doesn't really have a doo!

Yeah exactly. I hate any lowlife scum that prey on others. My problem was in my first post, I thought the word scouser meant exactly that. When it clearly doesn't.

I'm actually astonished at how many dialects you guys have in the UK. for such a small country. I'm not even sure UK and country should be mentioned in the same sentence. I enjoy it though, it adds to the culture and tradition and all that.

True Story here: I've been to England before. I stayed in Leeds mostly but spent a couple days in London. I was at a car race and the fellow working the snack shack had this accent I could not understand. He was speaking english of course but I swear I could not hear it. We both laughed at each other because we both knew we had no idea what each other was saying. There were moments of clarity between me and the snack shack guy for example, he said a bunch of rubbish then I heard the word "ale"! We truly connected on that and laughed at each other after finally having a connection we both understood.

I remember locals talking to me about "birds" and other local jargon. I took home a memorial from my stay in the UK, a plaque, It says "Dirty Dick Pub" and for no reasonable reason I will keep this plaque as a momento of my stay in the UK.

Yeah, the accent thing is strange, from my house I could travel 10 miles to St Helens & the accent would be completely different than the scouse 1. I could travel a bit further & get to Manchester where the accent would be completely different again. If I went left or right after I got to St Helens instead of going straight through I'd get to Wigan or Warrington where again the accents are different.

There are different accents throughout the whole country, I feel for anyone who doesn't speak English as a 1st language & learns it only to have the dialects completely confuse them

There are those that would "label me" for saying I love Western Civilization. However your post alone only adds to the richness of our culture and I frackin love it. Salute. I'm a yank and culture to me is ideology not ethnicity. All are welcome here! Foreverton!

in terms of calling the United Kingdom a country they shouldn't, as the full name is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, being made up of the countries of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
