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.
Have a safe trip.

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

Good job the old ship yard talk isn't still around, with phrases like "Hoyahammah ower here hinnie, wyle ah coin roond to dunch this pail ootathwhey man!"
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 !

That place is really amazing. I went there two years ago on spring break. Hopefully you got some good pictures of the Restoration Facility!
There you go Marcel! Enjoy! Post pictures of the restoration area please.

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?
Looking forward to your shots of the museum (and trip)!
