One of Jim's new favorite drinks is apple cider. He ordered this one at the hotel in Edinburgh. It's really refreshing, but it is alcoholic.
So check out this label.
And now, changing the subject . . .
. . ."lovely", "cheers", and "no worries" in a high-pitched Queen-like voice, of course. Just a few of the words and phrases I've heard in the past 24 hours.
Me: May I see a menu?
Waiter: No worries.
Waiter: Are you here on holiday?
Me: Yes, we are here from Belgium, but are originally from Louisiana.
Waiter: Lovely
Waiter: Are you ready to order?
Me: Yes.
Waiter: Lovely
Waiter (bringing meal): Here you go.
Me: Thank you
Waiter: Cheers (pronounced "chias"), you're welcome.
Of course, the Scottish speak English, but sometimes the accent is so heavy they might as well be speaking a different language. Here's a YouTube video that, while a bit extreme, illustrates it much better than I can!
That sounds cool to be on holiday!
