	I`ll give you another one --when we were on our cruise an American comedian asked where eveyone came from --he picked up on someone from Ayrshire, Scotland . He said there was an expression there that the men say when asking a girl to dance. He was so accurate with the Ayrshire accent --here goes "Are ye dancing? " , answer "Are ye askin?" The Americans we met thought it was hysterical but it`s so accurate, Ros xx
