Cool. I've stole this for my blog. We're both Lego fans....hey now!
What no questions for me to answer?
Lego, stickle bricks and meccano!! Love them!
"Lego, stickle bricks and meccano!! Love them! " - spot on. S'funny, when I say "stickle bricks" to people I get blank looks....?????
Kenny
Okay, I'll ask a question of you. In the U.K. where is the best Bed and Breakfast and what is so special about it?
or
What is the official difference between trousers and knickers?
Kenny - maybe stickle bricks is an age thing?
Tom - Bed & Breakfasts in Britain .... ok, leave that with me!
Knickers and Trousers - knickers are worn under trousers by women. Pants in "British" can also mean rubbish ....."I hate having homework on the weekend Miss, it's pants!" Who came up with this language?
Pants is the american word for trousers, the others are unmentionables :). Yes, leave it up to us to use non-specific words that only we can understand. That's my country for you.
