Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I'll try to watch my abbreviations and slang. .but if I slip and there is something that you don't quite understand.. or for that matter if anyone brings up a word or something that you don't understand, please ask... you have a pretty good understanding of our language already, if you aren't familiar with a few specific words we sure aren't going to fault you for that!!!

Gee, I never thought broccoli and cauliflower weren't good for me, and here I've been trying hard to eat more of those vegetables, especially broccoli... hm...

Our GP is for general use when you have the flu or similar or to help find a specialist. I first went to a man and didn't like him one bit. He just looked at me in a peculiar way when I talked about how offended I was with the extra weight. I now go to a young lady who can relate to the problem right away. Such a difference! You can buy a lot of your drugs over the counter but here we can't. Actually I feel it's a good thing. Let the doctors be doctors and not you yourself. Too many people would diagnose themselves I fear. If you were to talk about flight related things I know it all. I've worked for the Icelandic avaiation administration for 21 years and the language is English all over the World. Many thanks again and I'll read about goitrogen food.
