    I just foned yummy to find out who else is flying from London on 6th September. Alexis said they cant tell us names/numbers of people who are going on the same day so we cant get in touch with them before can only bump into them in airport or meet them on here if they come online!!
    Apparently there is only one other person flying from London on 6th and they are from Bishop Stortford in Hertfordshire...who are u person??? Reveal yourself :) You are my flying buddy :) xxxx

    u could do what charlotte has done - she contacted yummy and asked them who was flying from london on the 13th et obviously they wont tell her same as they wont tell u but they sent us all an email saying charlotte wanted to get in touch - so it was then up to us to do it so they cant get in trouble, so u could try that cos they may not be signed up to the boards? ;D

    i was wondering, i know in england there are a lot of areas ending in "shire" and i've always wondered what the correct way to pronounce it is. is it supposed to sound like "sure" or "sh-i-er"?
    ...i was just wondering...that's just me...
    cheers,
    mallory
    ps-it's not me that is your flying buddy, lillybett, sorry

    Good question Mallory.. and here's the answer..

    Basically all the 'shire' places in the UK are pronounced 'sure' eg) I live in Hampshire = I live in Hampsure

    Though it is lovely to hear them pronounced 'shire' by Yanks and the like..

    This rule goes out of the window if you are of the Baggins Hobbit family and live in 'The Shire' which is pronounced 'Shire' ..

    Ta taa for now.. Beth xxx

    p.s. London 2012 woo hoo!!

    hehe, yeah, and then I sound like a right Brummy by going 'oh your going to burmin-gum'. It's one of the few words that my regional accent can really be pinpointed in.

    the british accent just bores me lol, well the southern one anyway as i'm round it all the time. if i had to choose a british one that made me melt it would have to be of someone from Liverpool followed closely by bristol.
