There are a number of Brits that have a hard time understanding conversations north of Hadrian's wall ;)
and tell me that every Brit understands all conversations in Cornwall ::)

Simon,
Worked 12 years with Brits, Scots and others from HM Empire. I then knew that English is a language with many variations ;D and yes, I've worked and spent some vacation time in Blighty ::)

Yes, we use all the letters of the alphabet. No missing r's or h's, or converting r's to w's.  ;D Also our floors are indoors not outside.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.
