Well, as an American, I thought “english” was my native tongue. But after having read the above five pages of thread, I’m beginning to wonder. Not to speak disparagingly of the Brits and Aussies, but in five pages of posts I think maybe five words I recognise as “english.” And to make matters worse, these words within the context of the sentences they were written, made not a sliver of sense to me. I even took the trouble to run some of the sentences through a modern language translation engine – and what did it do? – it spit them out as “undecipherable.” I think I’d do much better trying to figure out what Martians were saying, should they post on ArboristSite.

Yo, the name of this thread is the Brit Thread, eh? What we might call one 'english' word means something completely different in another culture, even though it's spelled the same or whatnot.

Ya ever be outside the CONUS?

What? You don't understand something like "jamie,What company do you work for?." ??? Sounds like you're just pulling a chain that needn't be pulled.

 

[Chucky]

Yep,

Love pulling the Brit's and Aussie's chains. Or as they might put it, "wankin' it!

It's just another culture, dude.

 

[PRUNER 1]

yes it is the borough of darlington and yes phil does still work here, although he is now senior arb officer. aint got my kit yet but am lookin forward to bf2, grillon, ball locks, stretch air trousers and gore tex boots for the grim northern weather. how do you know phil and do you know any of the others? richard ?

 

[Ross Turner]

I started a YTS at Houghall back in 1989 & went on placement with them,In my 2nd week i injured my shoulder & was kicked of the course.Thats how i know both Phil & Richard.I have also done work for Andrew Jackson & Micheal McDonough from Fenby Ave.
I bet you if you mention me to phil he will say i owe him money for some dodgy kit he sold me & i mean dodgy.
Last time i heard he was studing for his PD arb,Did he get it & did how many kids has richard got now?.
Say hi to them.
