OH the motherland....

Just some funny English - isms I've been thinking about sharing with y'all.

THE WORDS: For some reason the English pronounce 3 MAJOR athletic company names super strange.

1. Nike (said in British English like Mike)
2. Puma (said in British English like pewma)
3. Adidas (said in British English like addy-das)



THE PEOPLE: Not to over stereotype the English or anything, but they don't talk to you and they don't look at you. It is kinda miserable. Walking through the grocery store, everyone looks at the ground and if you just happen to make eye contact with someone, they look away very quickly. booo....



THE WIND: It causes everyday to be back funny hair day for me. Most of the time it all gets blown straight up and swirls around all over the place. The wind is so rough that every time I drive down the motorway, I think my car is going to blow into the car next to me.


THE SHEEP: I do believe that every sheep in the country had a hair cut this past weekend. They don't look like cuddly cotton balls anymore.....more like sad goats.


THE POLICE: They stand on the side of the road and videotape you speeding by them and then send you a ticket in the mail. This adds to my theory that the British don't like confrontation.


Okay...that's all on the inside scoop for today! :)
