Greetings from England

Betty_Swallocks · 03-February-05, 07:15 PM

Hi all,

I'm Betty_Swallocks. Not my real name obviously. It may be a little tricky for you guys from the US, being a spoonerism of a particular English slang word I'm not going to repeat in a family forum.
Work it out if you wish.

I'm from Peterborough in the East Midlands, just on the edge of the fens.
I've worked with computers ever since I left the RAF more years ago than I care to think about. Lucky I guess to have a hobby I can get paid for

).

Nah, I've been using "bollocks!" & occasionally "bannocks!" for ages ... there must be a few people here who have got some idea by now

Since when is Peterboghorror in the "East Midlands" anway? Or are you too posh to regard yourself as part of the rest of us plebs in Anglia? You've got a point though - all the distance you can put between yourself & Essex is none too far

Welcome to PR
