We tried to correct the inaccuracies of the language after we moved over here to this better country with more room, but the English keep getting all "Oxford this" and "Cambridge that" on us.
"Based on rugby"? This is like saying Kevlar body armor (an American invention, btw) is based on chainmail. American football is NOT rugby.
And FYI, you had it right the first time, it's Suzi, not Su. 😕

2. There is more than 2 accents in Britain. In fact every town and city has a different accent. Fleetwood is 5 miles north of my town and they speak with a different accent. Lytham St Annes (Golf) is 3 miles south of my town and they have a slight, but definite different accent too.
Why do most Americans thing all British people either speak like the Queen, or speak like a London taxi driver?
I guess people don't get out of town much in England(every town having its own accent). I'd venture to guess that people in each town are highly related to each other if that's the case. I think this would be the result of people who are the decedants of serfs and hung on to the belief that they are tied to their own little plot of land.

Talk about your princess and the pea. If there were 46 people in a pub, according to BPM, you could expect to see roughly 20 of female persuasion. But using trev33's heightened sense of all things mathematical, the same pub really only has 16 women in it. You know, because the extra four is SUCH an exaggeration, right? Do you really think trev33 was so ...[text shortened]... loser to reality than trev33's perception? I'd put those odds at 10-to-1, in favor of BPM.
Don't you mean we could expect to see 20 of roughly female persuasion? 😉

'arsed', is a very bad word in Scotland, a swear word in fact, a 'cuss', word i think you guys say, one would be liable to having ones mouth washed out with soap (happened to me once when i was young), in England they use this word freely and it does not seem to have the same degree of severity attached to it. I've even heard English Dj's say it on the radio, a Scottish DJ would never use this word in public.

i've been to liverpoo and don't recall noticing the female population in bars being any higher than i've known them to be... lower than 45%. maybe during student night or if there happens to be a hen party. most of the time i'd say around 35% for an average.
how many foreign matches have you been to? i've been to a few epl games, collectively they don't come anywhere close to the passion and atmosphere i witnessed at one boca match.
It aint full of that much poo! 😲
As for the low percentage of Liver Birds in da bars, I told them yu waz coming, an they scattered under the steel corrugations... otherwise known as 'homes' in the rest of the modern day worlde... 😏
There waz one girl waitin for ya, called slag Kelly, an she woz good, man. She had 2 correct spellings in her tattoos, 2 front real teeth, an the only thing she didn't go down on was the lift in her flat.... you missed out my man! 😀
