My new DJ41 visits the UK

Why does everyone have such a funny accent over here?


Start of a two week business trip, more pics (and if Scotland and Ireland) to follow.

If you think that accent is funny, you'll need a translator in Scotland.

Welcome mate, keep an eye on the apples and pears, look the other way crossing the frog and toad, and don't spend too long on your plates and most importantly, greet everyone here with a friendly tone, using the nickname "melt" which is a term of endearment.

Have fun Paul

Have been here for 4 years and some of the many accents are still impenetrable to me

Currently a pleasant 33 C / 91 F in the SE

As for beer, there's a staggering variety and not all of it served at 'room temp'
