The only way I know that you are not a native Brit is that your grammar and punctuation are too good.
Texting, Twatter and modern teaching here have destroyed respect for the English language and literature. Back to Victorian standards say I: children up chimneys, flogging in schools, the lower orders (non-Yorkshire folk) knowing their places.... Meldrews of the world unite!!!

Thanks for that Bernd - being English and a lazy git I only just know how to speak one language. My hat is off to you for having such a fantastic command of English - it really puts me to shame. Thanks a lot Sam I'm still far away from where I'd like to be with my english, though. Especially my grammar could be much better. Bernd, I have part-time jobs teaching English Literature, and I have native students who cannot express themselves in English with anything like the clarity that you display.

Thank you thank you, first I'd like to show my gratitude to my parents for bringing me into this world ... what can I say I owe them big time, and all the people who I have worked with over the years, wife kids, cats, gerbils, the guy who works down the chip shop, Elvis .......
