Am I imagining it or is there more participation from UK and Oz these days? I like it, because they talk funny. (And mention products we can't get here..and prices in "P's") And the expression "The Mutt's Nuts" is now in my vocab. Just who are these people from uk.d-i-y, uk.rec.cars.maintenance ?
More traffic from Oz, UK?

Just who are these interlopers from rec.woodworking? Not that I give a monkey's one way or the other.
North Yorkshire... is that the barren stretch of the A1 on the way to the ACTUAL God's country aka Scotland? When is North Yorkshire going to field a football team?
Be a while yet,they`re still learning cricket. :-)

Is it more difficult than trying to get someone else to pick YOUR nose?

Most people in England don't speak English but some county dialect of their upbringing that little resembles BBC English or Queen's English.
Midwest Americans and Central Canadians speak a far more listenable and truer dialect of English than the Brits.
Swot up on yer scouse now, mate!
