    *jealous*

    I’m too broke for even then short jump across the Channel. (And I’m cat-sitting.)

    Fascinating. Really, Ophelia, could you make every post as bland and uninformative as this one? Thanks.

    “The word “our” was unnecessary”

    It’s OK, it’s a North of England thing, as in “Our Mam”, or “Our (insert name here)”.

    I hope ar/ower/our Ophelia is ok, and not taken with a touch of Stendhal syndrome, as is likely amongst visitors to Manchester

    Ya I totally understood the “our” as Northern. I really liked being immersed in Mancunian and Lancs and related accents for four days – I liked being in a place where the default accent is Northern.

    I didn’t so much like all the football shouting. There was a match the day I arrived. Urk.

    (I’m back.)
