DH is a northerner and I'm very much a southerner. We've rubbed along for over 40 years in the south - well to me its Middle - and he's useful for translations when we go further than Watford grin

Oh no, no, no, Devonshire is much better. OH can get quite stroppy on the subject grin grin

It really is a personal thing, when we sit having heartfelt talks with our loved ones, it can accidentally creep into the conversation, " we had better than you" or " we struggled more than you " grin

Oh I have been there, I lived in Torquay for a while, and I found ,even though I do quite love Mr Heb he could be quite childish about this issue, unlike myself grin
