> And I’m pleased to report that Dopers from across the pond are charming and not in the least bit imaginary! All told, we talked for more than 3 hours, following a meandering path of conversation, including lawyers, earthquakes, the eclipse, and the Air Florida Flt 90 crash in the Potomac. I also recall talking about cats, school, 80s fashion, scam phone calls… I know there was more.

Who provided translation services or is **Boo** bilingual? Hey — I’ve talked to people from the Other Big Island before and I had no idea what they were saying. 😉

Hard for me to say, since I watch a lot of BBC series on Netflix, so my ear is perhaps more attuned than yours… 😉

It’s not the words we use, it’s the things we talk about that confuses people!

Incidentally, \*\*BooFae \*\*- regarding our conversation about narrow roads - when I was watching and episode yesterday, I happened to notice a little paved bump-out in one scene, so I knew what it was for! Congrats on educating me! 😃
