Good band...I always placed their music as having a "Midwest" affectation (that's coming from a city kid mind you) whereas some other country-rock bands conjured images of being somewhere in the backwoods with moonshine stills nestled in dem thare hills... .... |

Richie was an Ohio boy, indeed Midwest.

We're currently having a lot of snow in some parts of the UK. Wales has been badly hit, so a team of road gritters have come up with this:

Please note that the word "depot" is used in its British English context - it is not a railway station!

A place where vehicles are kept until they are needed or in order to be repaired. In the UK the word is never used to describe a place where trains stop to pick up or set down passengers - that's a station.

So buses are stored at the "depot", but they are found at the bus "station" for a ride. So instead of the "Greyhound Bus Depot"(USA), it would be "Greyhound Bus Station"(UK)!
Cool. There was a jolly good BBC commercial that touted how watching BBC/America programming was a good way for Americans to learn PROPER English!
Bloody well right!
(Of note: though "BUGGERS!" can be spoken on American TV (on the "Lie To ME" Fox TV series, for one, it was used a lot), I understand it is still taboo on the British telly.)

Not so -"Buggers" is very mild and not really regarded as bad language now - I'm sure I've heard it used on childrens' TV. Indeed, I can only think of two words that are currently taboo on UK TV (one begins with c, the other with n). We do have something called the nine o'clock watershed which means that programmes aired before 9pm should not have content deemed inappropriate for children, but after that virtually anything seems to go.
The BBC is presently under the impression that the Americans are now adopting some British words and phrases. See what you think - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19929249 .

Thanks, DT. Misinformed by wiki again!
Though it is a rather offensive expletive in its original meaning!
