Playing on the British isles map for the 7th or so time i have just realised that there is a mispelling of the place "Granpian" as i am sure it is called Grampian, i thought somebody from Scotland may of pointed it out by now. :wink:

I noticed the spelling mistake an all, when I first joined, but I never got round to working out where I should point it out. Ignore the last two tossers, let's get a pressure group together.

oh i know the answer
because americans are lazy so they change names
why call trousers trousers when you can half the number of letters and call them pants
and colour far to hard to spell call it color

easterners talk like idiots? i have no accent either, but I live close to DC, although a lot of people don't agree with me on how i pronounced certain words(water:wudder wash:warsh etc.)

Lightening the mood my friend...actually any accent sounds cool to me - Minnesotans are the funniest......the west coast is the absolute most boring one as a generalization (including me)

then if that is how you pronounce things then you have a accent because water is said 'worter' wash 'wosh'
