    Hi Uncle Ho, yes, I did see some of it then but I missed the first few programmes. It's good to be able to catch up with them.

    Hi Ho. Have you got your Range Rover attire yet? Cheesecutter cap, corduroy jacket with leather elbow patches, cavalry twill trousers, BRDC tie, and a nice tweed skirt, twin set and pearls for The Management.

    I recommend it.

    See The Adventure of English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    If I recall my long-ago studies correctly, English is one of the North Germanic group of languages. As well as English this group includes German, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian (all three), Friesian/Frasch, Faroese, Icelandic, Dutch, Flemish, and Lowland Scots if this can be considered a separate language. Lowland Scots has a lot of words in common with Danish, no doubt reflecting the civilising influence of missions from my Viking forebears to that country.
