Making me laugh here today :)

MarkRae is ok. I once called him an idiot when he posted 'let-me-google-that-for-you link to one of my questions. I then apologised to him though, it's not in me to hurt others or be nasty.

[stewey]

And nevah, nevah mention "Blimey Limeys"; however, he does post some interesting rejoinders.

[ASSAM]

"Ken, he sets the standard and has to hope that his restaurants follow suit, but there has been some anger about the state of his outlets in America and the U.K. "

The use of the comma is perfectly correct when separating the person addressed from the rest of the sentence.

It could be rephrased as:

"He sets the standard, Ken, and has to hope that his restaurants follow suit, but there has been some anger about the state of his outlets in America and the U.K. "

[stewey]

Some of you may know that at times, not too often, I do refer to you as "Blimey Limeys" in a jovial sense. Out of curiosity, are any of you offended or annoyed by it?

[supersuezy24]

Thanks Assam :)

[askyourgran]

Stewey (from Canada) usually says Blimey limeys. Blimey is an expression, and Limeys are English people. Americans and Australians tend to call us that too. MarkRae pulled Stewey up about saying that.

[ASSAM]

Fair dinkum cobber

[boxtops]

I'm not - gives us a clue as to where you come from - not a prob for me!

[stewey]

Boxtops, as Askyourgran says, I live across the pond just outside Toronto.

[joggerjayne]

I'm not at all offended by "Blimey Limeys"

It's just a term of endearment ...

... like " *ankey Yankees" !

LOL

[askyourgran]

I'm not offended, I'm only miffed that I cannot find a soubriquet for Canadians.

[stewey]

Crazy Canucks perhaps?

[Eve]

I love it there, my brother is moving there at some point so hopefully will get to spend a lot more time there too.

I think MarkRae's great.

[askyourgran]

I suppose it would do, but it lacks something stewey. Whatever, Canada is a lovely place I've always wanted to visit.
