Welcome aboard. Now that's a bit confuseing. A Dutchman that live in Hollywood, Ireland.

As for US vs UK terms, we just tend to work it out as we go along. But if there's anything your not sure off, you can just ask.

We are still trying to teach the colonials to talk properly. Its a slow process, but we are getting there.Wink

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Welcome, Joe! Great to have you here on the Forum.

As for terms, I'm sure we can suss out your meaning. Whether you're building armor or armour, a lorry or a truck, we're good to go!

Welcome Joep!  I for one would love to see some of your ship builds.  I do mostly planes, but have a great admiration for you guys (bloks) that do ships.  What are your favorite ships to build?  Oh, and don't worry about understanding us........Bish is doing a great job of converting us yanks!   Again, welcome aboard!
