I have to protest! You are not allowed to say "eh" unless you are a Canadian, eh. We say "eh" you say "huh" or something other, but not "eh", eh.

Maybe you are practising to pass yourself off as a Canadian when you are overseas. This may be a good move 'cause we are like popular eh. Perhaps you would like me to send you a shirt, eh. With 'Canadian, eh' on it. Smoke Canadian cigarettes too eh.: Export A, Craven A, DuMaurier, eh.

I beg to differ Eric! Natives of New England are indeed allowed to say eh! I believe this was part of the agreement from those bloody fish wars between New England and those Canadian Pirates stealing our fish from our waters years back. Also, as my wife is half Canuck and Canadian Indian, I believe we have more right to say it then your transplanted British butt eh?

Now, if you had been so good as to keep all those southern wandering Canucks from settling in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, we wouldn't be having this conversation aye?

Saying eh is more French Canadian anyhoo eh?

I believe I mean it more as in the English aye mate. That I got from my totally English grandparents.

Hugs and Kisses,

Brian

Tabernac'. Next you will be eating back bacon, wearing plaid shirts, and drinking real beer. It's another yankee plot to subvert our culture, probably hatched by MacDonald's, CNN, and the CI-Eh!

I've got a closet full of Plaid shirts, blue jeans, and workboots. Unfortunatly doesn't go well down here south of the Mason/Dixon. Seen more as a red-neck thing than a blue-blood Yankee.

Remember, I grew up fairly close to L.L. Bean territory. Ever heard of them (you Canuck wannabe!

), they're on the good side of the St. Lawrence. Et toufe,' mon ami!

Oh, to stay on topic, flannel shirts are most always untucked IMO!

I've been a canuck wannabe for over 40 years .... but I do have dual citizenship. And I do believe that plaid shirts can be tucked in ... but only after the temp. hits -35 (without the windchill) ... north of '49 plaid shirts, workboots and jeans are considered appropriate wear for restaurants that advertise "casual fine dining". Of course, in a greasy spoon one need not dress so formally. Hockey shirts must be worn outside the pants. This is so that one can have the freedom to hoist replicas of the Stanley Cup, and the freedom to reach for beers.

How about the Senators ... maybe this year is Ottawa's ... notice that hockey players wear their shirts outside ... this is so that they can engage in mayhem without impediment.

If I can just make one lady a day cry, my work in this world is nearly done.

grannyclaret · 01-05-2007, 23:12

I thinks its the trousers as much as the shirt...

Gosh Eric, how many times must I correct you and your misinformation to our non-hockey loving friends!

Hockey players wear their jerseys out solely for the purpose of having it handy to pull over the heads of the guy just prior to bashing him in the head.

Damn and I thought that the shirts were so roomy in order that beer swilling fans could wear them and hide the beer gut. Not American beer of course, American beer is like making love in a canoe.

Nice analogy Eric. Got to agree with the shirt room bit as well.

LancYorkYankee · 23-05-2007, 00:20

Yeah, decided to resurrect this thread for my own well being. As I pack I'm thinking well can't bring that gotta bring this . . . . Then I figure I can get by dressing like an American eh (eric)? So, I shall tuck what I normally tuck and untuck that which I don't. However, for modesty sake, I shall promise to keep my thong underwear covered at all times!

As for my dear buttomsmum, I will be wearing my Boston Red Sox cap. They are fashion statements over here for guys over 40ish. I am still contemplating bringing over a couple from my 50 or so just for that lovely husband of yours.

Ya never know, I may start this huge revolution in British Men's fashion eh (eric)! Alright, alright, I'm going . . . actually I'm almost on me way! Next stop Manchester Piccadilly!

I have worn suspenders (braces) all my life my current pair are the wide type, these are no cheap item of clothing as these cost me £8.00, they have proved invaluable throughout my life. As children we wore nothing else as my grandparents used to say, belts are ok for lifting but you should slacken them when sat down as they tend to trap your innards and give you indigestion.

I used to get £250,000 per year to spend on braces. Happily they were for the company I worked for, and not myself, as my drawers aren't big enough to accommodate that many.
