Monty Python are not well known in France. French have often big problems with spoken foreign langages, and i m nort an exception.

Well, Month Python are not translated, so it was a great pleasure to read this story Phil...

I didn't know that one yet, Monty isn't overly popular in Germany as well, though a few of my friends are rather fond of that stuff. I guess I'll review it again, thanks, phil, you're educating me here! Do we still have to mention that it's well done?

I watched the "Holy Grail" though, and believe it or not, some jokes are even better in Germany translation. They're rather flat in original - even for British standards

OK, my coat this time? CU cuddly

Many thanks to everyone who commented and enjoyed this.
The Yorkshire accent thing must be especially difficult for our German, French and Dutch members sorry but its an integral part of the original sketch(ok I did make it even more Yorkshire 'cos I,m from there ).

Admittedly it is, but I have conversed in English with people from Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, Israel and allover the US (from Florida over Texas to Oregon) and Canada (all the way BC to Newfoundland) before - and I can read Patch Monkey Cockney! So for me it's just another new facet... but a strange one indeed. Still you better not get me started about German slangs, oh my.

(Oh, just fyi, I haven't been to all of the places I mentioned... only a few. I'd love to travel, though, but money )

CU cuddly and Lian

Me, it was with Italians and...Germans at work...

Well done for being able to converse with people from all over the world - Ee! But can yer understand..Yorkshire Sitha?
I guess it must be the same in Germany but our regional accents and dialects are so far away from the standard form of the language that they can hardly be understood in another part of the country. When I first went to live in Yorkshire I thought they were speaking Martian.
