Some more of my favorite brekkies. Egg on toast. 2 fried or poached eggs. Baked beans,[Hienz, natch],on toast. HP sauce. Kelloggs Corn Flakes, sugar, top of the milk. + Strawberries if available. Daily Telegraph crossword and my own coffee pot. Bacon Sarnie, lettuce and tomato. 3 Boiled eggs, 3.5 minutes. With soldiers. Marmalade, on crusty bread. Home made redcurrant or quince jelly, ditto. A large pot of tea for a hangover. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif) Alan

Just as well, you might lose your mansion and your Ministry! Not the perks mind, [nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say n' more!], nor the obscene salary and the trips to the Ranch though, so not all bad!

J'aime le thé, mais le café non plus. Que restet'il de nous amour? :P J'ai étudé aussi Francaise á l'école, mais il y a 15 ans. Est que c'est possible de ouvrir a forum en francaise? It would be fun. If I could understand it. Sometimes it is hard to understand English here on ECN, but good to see some new words, and Alan uses very unfamiliar English words... I guess no dic contains them.

Sorry Gloria, I'll try and curtail the slang! The Oxford English Dictionary [OED] has every English word form ever uttered, all 616,500 of them on 21,730 pages, but at a hefty €400 a year subscription, HO HUM! Wikipedia is free, just takes a bit of navigation, but is comprehensive, (even for example, quince, cydonia oblonga; small asiatic shrub [ birsalma]; its bitter, apple-like fruit, [ birs] from which can be made jelly, jam, conserve [ birsalma zselé]). A French speaking Forum? On Electricity!!???? Now, that really would scroll our nurds*!!! *drive us crazy. Alan

I once stumbled across a Swiss electrical forum! The posts were close to impossible to read, because people just wrote in dialect.

Welcome to ECN StarTrek! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/PC/welcome.gif) Gloria, Sometimes it is hard to understand English here on ECN, If it's any consolation, even we Brits have trouble with slang sometimes, as there can be many local variations from one part of the country to another. If we widen the field to U.S. vs. U.K. colloquial English, there are slang terms which can mean something very different on opposite sides of the Atlantic!
