This is how Karl sounds when drinking british beer

No, this is what Karl sounds like when drinking any beer "Wairzanotherpint marra, as gagginman !?"
Chris, you're right - George Washington was born in Virginia. The links with Washington, Co. Durham, are vague, but I believe it was his grandfather who came from there. There's a hotel and golf course complex there, named in his (George's) honour.

Well guys I'll be flying tomorrow morning (European time). Funny it's only two hour flying from Amsterdam to Boston. I depart at 10.30 and arrive 12.30 or so.

His Grandfather Lawrence was born in the colonies as well in 1659.

Georges Great Grandfather was born in Purleigh, England in 1633.

Somewhere along the line his liniage couldbe from Washington though as you say.

"It doesn't matter (what it) sounds like, you'll not get the hang of it like (unkown) one!"

I think, but I'm an East Midlander living in Brum.

I don't know mate, it sounds like you have a good grasp of it haven't you ?
I live only 20 miles from Washington and I don't sound like that, I think ?

Not heard hinnie since my grandad Jim died, he was a mackem and I used to struggle to understand him.

Even Makems struggle to understand other Makems mate !
And go north into Northumberland proper, and you've got no chance - it's a cross between what sounds like Geordie, spoken by a Norwegian Welshman born in Sweden, living in Denmark !

In the air and space museum

CommanderBounds · Apr 25, 2015

That place is really amazing. I went there two years ago on spring break. Hopefully you got some good pictures of the Restoration Facility!

Capt. Vick · Apr 25, 2015

There you go Marcel! Enjoy! Post pictures of the restoration area please.

Marcel · Apr 25, 2015

When I'm home guys. I brought my DSL, but only have an ipad, need my laptop. I got a picture of the Horton, a sykorsky flyingboat and a marauder.

GrauGeist · Apr 26, 2015

Now Marcel, that's no excuse!

I was posting photos with my ipad when I was over in Europe back in 2012. Of course, I had the SD card reader adaptor for the ipad, so I suppose that's cheating, right? :lol:
