I have a funny story to tell you. Many many years ago, I worked in a company with people from England and from Scotland.
My friend Mary came in one morning and told us the funniest story.
She was in a hotel and she asked the front desk to "knock her up" every morning. We all burst out laughing. When the guy at the front desk laughed too, he explained what "knock me up" meant. I gather in England it means "give me a wake up call". It doesn't mean the same in this country. lol
Then I remember being in the elevator with her and asking her "What's it like to have a Queen?," and she said "And we have a Queen Mum"
I was fascinated by all her stories.
So glad I make you smile.
You take care and feel good.
I tried to PM you to explain further but you're a visitor. I guess I can't PM visitors. Hope you join Neurotalks.
