Well what do you expect after over 10 years of having to converse in
Anglish.......
I make no point of saying I'm the keeper of the ring of pure grammer,
having little education in things like 'history' and 'english' and any
other subject that was not scientific, I opted out of those to do
physics, woodwork and metal work, then left school early to work in
an, ooh what do you call them, 'autoshop' ? - a place were people
bring their cars to be repaired?
I dont want to have offended anybody what I wrote was tongue in cheek,
if that translates I dont know. over their you may do something
different, finger in ear or something.
