Well what do you know.... Here I thought I was talking to a true Englander!!!! You seem to talk like one. I guess we all adapt to where we live. I grew up saying "y'all" but not with quite the accent here... (Still don't). I am from Southern IL...a little podunk coal mining town but lived in St. Louis when I was in Kindergarten and earlier. My beloved grandmother lived in Bourbon, MO down 44 W from St. Louis. I still have family there.

How'd you end up in England? Are you a dual citizen or something?
