        I was wondering if I should moan about racial abuse when people speak back to me in English when I speak cloggy?

            You mean you don't have a perfect native cloggy accent?



            Perhaps you ought to start a whine thread for some sympathy.

              Greetings denizens

              I take it everybody has patched their Unix/Linux servers against this new-fangled Shellshock vulnerability?

              I see Apple haven't yet addressed the issue on OS X, with its version of bash from 2006

                Been there before and it is really nice, you get LOADS of food. Did afternoon tea at fortnum and masons with Cojak a couple of years ago and we got feck all and paid a lot of Money.

                We ended up in the Ritz for cocktails afterwards.

                  Maybe I should.

                  I have picked up an accent but its a mish-mash but I don't get my knickers in a twist when people speak back in English in fact I insist that they speak to me in cloggy and they like it.

                  I have been complimented on it but that does not mean I have to get offended when people revert to English.

                  I did once get asked if I was from Marseilles when speaking French. In Paris though if they detect any hint of a non French accent they refuse to speak to you in French.

                    That's because Fortnums don't care. I said at the time Harrod's do decent portions as do Claridge's...

                    Personally Robineau's is the best I've been to for years (and we ofren do afternoon tea instead of dinner) but its a bit too local for me...

                      I'm comparing it to cloggy portions, which are huge.

                      We ended up at F&M because of the time constraints, both of us could only do after work and F&M was the only one who did a relatively late one at the time.

                      It was fun as it was around the time of cojaks b'day and they played happy birthday on the piano and gave her a cake.
