It is a little strange to us yanks. Though after a while I've picked up on it a little. Sort of like figuring out "Barny" means trouble......Barny Rubal (Flintstones)....Rubal rymes with trouble.

That kind of talk isnt used much, its kind of like an old london slang. People still talk like that but not nearly as much as they used to

I always enjoyed Absolutely Fabulous

[Slick Arrado]

do you have question time? where politicians go on a programme and have political discussions, argue the governments applications of policy, even the audience get to ask the politicians questions.

Sure we do, but it's called CrossBalls and is hosted by Chris Tallman. Oh, and I do watch BBCA occasionally. :spudniklu

pffft i knew that i was using slang that i picked up from all the people i went to uni with in london. "im feeling cold" is it? "im hungry" is it? "im gonna break youre ham and eggs" is it? I think its used for any reply. Im glad i dropped out, i was beginning to catch myself saying it.
