No offense intended! Many of us Southerners really have a problem understanding some of the northern accents though. I visited Bradford once and had a really hard time understanding some of the people there.
I know that's the "rose of a different color" from a Lancashire perspective!
(I can never remember which county is red and which white!)
Hutch: Yeah, I remember that. IIRC they took a museum car on line 42, pretty close where I live to (the radial lines are numbered clockwise and I live near line 41) and called it Bratislava. They even put up large sheets of paper with czech names on all shops along the route and some large transparents with Russian paroles on the old Stadtbahn bridges. I once read that several older people said: "Now the Russians are back! I always told so!". I'll try to find out more about that story. Must have been back in the 80ies. The last Stadtbahn went in October 1989 and the last trams without ticket vending machines disappeared in 1996.
