Lol...

We just hired a guy at work from England also.  It is funny how the use of
the same words mean two completely different things to people in different

We have a real melting pot at my work and unlike Fidonews, everyone for the
most part gets along.  That doesn't mean we all agree on everything, but we
at least get along.
