Yes, Webby was calling us all idiots

Really I suspected but wasn't sure . The feeling of "spanner head" like "brain stone" though that's also not a common used word here or generally in the English world I guess...that's why I didn't understand at first. Many thx guys!

Ooo thank you Master for quick response, links are bookmarked !   

P.S. there isn't a significant difference for me...sometimes I have to understand well they say anglice and matter whether if we are talking about "thing" or "personnel" ...

BATH is a good example of how the same word is said differently depending on whether you're from the noth of England or the south. Northerners pronounce the 'a' as in CAT, but a southerner (ie London) would sound like they were saying 'ar'

Once I worked with Englishmen they used about four-five sort of dialect...was a precious experience. Just one more question , please, I heard a lot this : "aren't I"  , could you so nice to explain how I should use this ?

Or if it's done yet , I'll push him for explanation  ...remember, words to be understood often not enough English thought is needed but I'm not thinking as you so I won't understand everything...not sure it's a good business to confuse me. 

[Johnny English]

Anyway why don't you use simply "yes" if thought that ? "Yep", "yup" and so on...
