Dena's point of view

I just had to post my wife's comments from a recent email, as they are pretty damn funny. Enjoy.

"Life for the most part has been business as usual, with Dan working and fantasizing over the BMW catalogues and me being awe-struck by some-or-other British behavior that tickles me. I refuse to write another yawning epic like last week (you’re welcome!); instead, here are the things I found interesting lately in a bite-sized, easy to digest format:

- Legal smoking age in the UK : 16
- Number of hotel employees to take a dump in my toilet: 2 – the electrician and the housekeeper. While I was there.
- Number of cathedrals converted into bars: 3, so far – the big one on Union is called “Soul”
- Local electronica hits: “This is My Church and God is the D.J.”
- Accepted unit of measurement for distance: miles (thank God), inches, etc – the Imperial System
- Accepted unit of measurement for weight/volume: grams, liters, etc – the Metric System
- Number of Brits who think this is wacky – 0
- How to say “zero”, “nothing”, or “none” in Brit: naught or nil
- How to say “pee”, like, “you can pee in my toilet, but please don’t poo”: wee
- How to say “a little” or “some”: wee or tad
- Number of Brits who don’t think “pee” and “a little” should get the same word: nil
- Name of Domino Pizza’s “Meat Extravaganza”: Mighty Meaty
- Number of pepperoni slices on said Mighty Meaty: 7
- Number of disappointed Cajuns: 2
- Latest exhumed hit from the 80’s to play in a commercial: “What a Feeling” for a laxative (!)
- How to say “cookie” in Brit: biscuit
- Availability of canned biscuits (like Pillsbury): naught!!
- Description of the mysterious “crumpet”, as in tea and crumpets: English muffin (go figure…)

That’s all I have for today! I hope y’all are doing well – I miss you!!"

Love and Cheers –
Dena
