Another tip is to avoid trying to sound like Dick van Dyke in Mary
Poppins ....

Also, anything weather related always goes down a storm (!) in the UK.

Enjoy your trip !

regards,

Andrew

Hi Steve,

I'm a 'merkin' happy to get to the mother country....

I'll be in London, Canterbury, Dover, Hastings, Salisbury, Bath and
Oxford.


You might be entertained by the definition of 'merkin' on www.dictionary.com
(we in UK know all about this because some guy gatecrashed some royal's
birthday party wearing one)

As for phrases, "sorry" seems to be popular.
