After reading and then re-reading your post Nick, myself AND the twins 
understood. I had to explain to them that people have different accents, 
pronunciations, etc. Eventually they understood.

BTW: They wanted printed copies of my original post. One for Mum and one for the 
very original deity, "DADDY", whom they see every second week-end. I told them 
the post was going around the world and that they were now famous [Yet again].

As you might imagine, I love them to death. Twins, two out of 22 grand-children 
and 3 great-grand-children.

Some days are beautiful, most are simply perfect...
