aa73 , what a hoot ( that is a laugh by the way , not an owl type noise ) , you must be one of the myriad Yanks who are amazed that British people also speak English ,often with real cute accents too. Love it .
And , BEFORE you sound off , I have a daughter-in-law from Ohio who is very well loved ( as are her parents ) in our family . Their easy-to-like persona are most likely caused by their fondness for foreign travel which makes them realise that the USA is not always the centre of the universe.
You take care now.
