We haven't been to the middle of the pond for a long time but we went there with a vengeance yesterday.
"Why's that woman looking so worried?" said James. "She's as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs."
I bounced on my chair with delight.
"Haven't you heard that before?" he asked. "It's one of my favourite expressions."
I hope that there is more where that came from.
We also discovered yesterday evening that 'cheddar', 'better', and 'butter' rhyme in James's accent but not in mine.
