Let's not forget the King of the Zydeco.

@SnowyOwl sadly it tells me your video is not available.

@FrayedBear Must be blocked in OZ, happens to me in Canada all the time but it was Clifton Chenier singing Eh! Petite Fille in the late 1950's.

@SnowyOwl

@SnowyOwl I note that it's called Zodico on the album not zydeco!

@FrayedBear Brother, you should know that Americans can't spell. lol

@SnowyOwl lol, in this case it's their language. Zydeco doesnt exist anywhere else. I was pulled up on my pronunciation the other day & told by a swamp native that it is something like zydekko but there again my memory may be failing it may have been zyducko!

@FrayedBear Don't even get me started on The Queen's Good English, most of the Limey's that showed up in Canada with holes in their shoes were barely understandable but full of themselves just the same. lol

@SnowyOwl if you include the gaelic speaking Scots amongst your "limeys", inbred cockneys or any of the myriad other thick accents I can't understand! I couldn't understand east Lancashire from 30-40 miles away let alone parts of Manchester 50 miles away nor Yorkshire equal distance.
In my lifetime they moved the Lancashire border 3 miles east & so sent the laddie on his bike up into the Pennines to tell an old girl who lived on the boarder that she no longer needed to pay her rates alternate years to each county. On learning that she was now fully considered to live in Lancashire she passionately responded with "ee by gum that's gradely lad! They tell me that it's bloody cauld o'er in yarkshire!"

@FrayedBear After listening to one Project Manager on a project I had just taken over try to explain the intricacies of the various counties and regions of the UK to the point of nausea, I set the lad down and explained that I am a Canadian of English ancestry, that my people sailed away in their own boat just to get clear of that petty bullshit and that as a 9th generation Canadian I could assure him that the only use I had for England was to drag it over to Canada where it would make a pretty island in one of our Great Lakes. He didn't understand my point, so it is no surprise that he was down the road and kicking stones within a fortnight.

@SnowyOwl "down the road and kicking stones" meaning unemployed?
The old Australian expression for being unemployed & tramping the country was known as "on the whallaby". If the traveller arrived too late in the day to do any work in return for the food he was given he was known as a "sundowner". Farms that didn't oblige with some tucker were treated to a few burnt fence posts.

@FrayedBear Large hotel projects require an integrated approach to get the job done efficiently, Mr. Brit didn't understand this and was very aloof as well as ineffective so yes, he was unemployed and replaced by a team player.
