Thank goodness for Google translate

Hey, no need to point finger at me - I am doing my best to get everyone included, heheh

How could I point the finger you, the only other languages I know are Cockney and a survivors guide in Glaswegian

Sadly even the processing power of Google can't keep up with the latter

I have been through that, some doctors I worked with in Eastkilbride used to cry because they couldnt understand.
Doesnt help if you work in AE, need to speak passible Ned.

I married into it. Thankfully my mother-in-law comes from Plaistow (East London) so at least I have an interpreter at weddings, funerals and other visits by National Express

Apologies Fex for hijacking this thread - as ever a masterful sculpt - превосходный

I though this was a Russian Arirborne badge.
Absolutely great sculpting mate.
