Was it Winston Churchill who once said that we are two countries separated by a common language??? He wasn't kidding was he??

Seriously though, my wife was born in Utah so I know ALL about language differences.

Apologies for not being able to make the run - haven't seen the family much recently due to working late so decided in favour of spending time with them. Hopefully get a child seat in the back and will come out when the weather is better!
