And a Happy Birthday from the motherland. I lived in Canada for a few years before the call of the homeland got too strong. It was a geat time although the winters were too long. I’ve been travelling back several times a year and still enjoy meeting Canadians…such friendly folks. I just wish they would stop asking me to pronounce the word A*se….as they think it’s so cute in proper english…:-)

Would you guys be so joyful if Canada Day was in January

Colin: as they think it’s so cute in proper english

LOL. Would that be ‘the Queen’s’ English, perchance?

Happy birthday to the Eh Team.

I remember on my first day at work in Canada my boss saying the same thing. I assured him that I never used the phrase and for the duration never did. It’s all that Coronation Street stuff that’s getting us a bad name.

Quite a few of us belong to the One Eye Tribe…as in.

I was waiting for a bus, One Eye!
I was having me dinner, One Eye!

Oops.. Wrong week.. Was last week 😉
But thanks anyway, the thought is appreciated!

I also would like to wish a Happy Canada day to all Canadians onboard. I visited Canada a few times myself, it’s a nice country, its citizen are friendly and welcoming, and they take American Express (with Air Miles, now what could we possible ask more…)

Ray 🙂

I don’t get the "one eye" thing, but I hope that Canada has a nice day, anyway.

Wasn’t I? Wa’n’t I? Wo’n’ I? One Eye? It all depends on just how ‘clipped’ the accent is. My English cousin who grew up near Cambridge picked up the ‘East Anglian’ accent – a blend of the local country and the ‘Cockney’ kids who were evacuated from London during the war. Though he could speak "the Queen’s English", he liked to drive my uncle mad by dropping into ‘East Anglian’ (I think I’ve got this right but I’m sure our Brit friends know better). Anyway, I can certainly hear him saying ‘one eye’!

John your right but it’s not restricted to East Anglia anymore, unfortunately.

I am so sorry that I am late but guess I have been down here to long. A very happy birthday Canada.

One eye is very much part of my native accent (which is what I think now is described as the Essex accent, although where I’m from is more Middlesex) – cockney plus an indefineable something else. All the sentences that don’t end in wonneye end in "innit" (as in "isn’t it"). I think the Australian equivalent (or at least the Sydney equivalent) is to end every other sentence with "but" as a form of puntuation.

When my English uncle was young (this was in the 1930’s, mind), he picked up the habit of ending many sentences with the word ‘else’. "Oh, we’d better go to the store, else. You can’t do that, else." It was so pronounced that the family started calling him ‘Elsie’ to make him stop. Of course that was all forgotten when my cousin (his son) used to wind him up by ‘confirming’ every sentence with the phrase " ‘at’s ri’t, innit? " (the ri’t isn’t quite correct, as I recall it, but there was definitely something clipped even in the word ‘right’).
