Is tea a herb?
In article ,
"David Hare-Scott" wrote: The Irish - Catholic connection is interesting. As a child I met numerous children brought up as Catholics who refered to the letter "h" as haitch but those who were brought up protestants said aitch. I later learned that this is not a peculiarity of religion at all (in my region at least) but that it came from many of the teachers in the Catholic private education system being of Irish origin whereas the non-catholics mostly went to public schools where the teachers were not Irish. I don't recall them saying 'erb though but we didn't discuss herbs much. In the way of kids the cafliks yelled insults (and sometimes rocks) at the prodes over the fence and vic-versa. On one memorable occasion some of the older boys were lined up for a scuffle and each declared "I'm Catholic" or "I'm Church of England" as the case might be. The battle lines were drawn and they turned to me and I said quaking "I'm Kindergarten" and so was excused the ensuing melee. David Smart at a young age. Not to worry it is just the battle of Culloden being replayed. http://www.amazon.com/Culloden-John-...ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&s=books&qid=1234048371&sr=1-1 Bill -- Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA |
