*Hangs head in shame* When I was younger I fancied myself as a Skinhead (too young to be a mod or rocker). Not the kind they have today thought, they consider themselves Neo-Nazi and that is not up my street.

I've never been into harming anyone, so I really wasn't a true skinhead, I just dressed up in the Stay-press and brogues (I had THE best pair of broges ever), I had the crombi (sp?) with a velvet collar. Oh I did wear Doctor Martin's too on occasion.

One of my favorite subjects, English lingo.  I have a question for you English (British, Cornish, Welsh, etc.) lot.  If tourists/visitors to the UK use common English terms when speaking with you (that aren't common to American daily language, for instance), do you, the locals, welcome that, find it amusing, find it annoying, wish we wouldn't do it, etc.?  I'm not talking about rude or crude words.  I mean things like "fancy a pint?", "mind you," straightaway, loo, that sort of thing. I think the English have so many wonderful, charming terms that I love using them as well, even at home in the USA.  Mind you, I don't pretend to put on an English accent, just enjoy using the words.  I do value your opinions, fellow POE-ers.
