Sorry Folks,
I guess I am a product of the American school system. Squandered my adolescence drinking alcohol and dealing with a testosterone bathed cortex, i.e. girls. Usefull memories for late married life however.
Surf, you ride on it with a board, at least in California = Serf, somebody rides you like a board, like Normans. Without doubt there are multiple spelling errors, and I'm not going to get away with the excuse that, "It's the Americian spelling. You know, like tire vs tyre."
Yours,
Forever embarrassed,
The ex-expat.
PS Please save us, put a spell checker in the mail program!!
