I know you guys probably think I'm just kidding but honest, I'm not.  I have a very difficult time understanding people who have a different accent. I suspect it may be because I'm a bit hard of hearing to start with and when words are not said the way my ears expect to hear them, they don't translate.

I love some of the English movies but I struggle with trying to figure out what's going on.  Some, I just give up on and others, I can tell by the acting what's happening.

Many years ago, I had a pen pal (prior to computers) and she lived in London.  I always had trouble trying to interpret her letters.  She wrote in her accent. Instead of writing "he", she would write "eh".    Then, of course, there were the strange words, loo, trolly tram, and a few more. Actually it was fun because she didn't understand me either so we sent a lot of pictures back and forth!

I will watch for the show to come on BBC - would love to see it.

I think you would like it MaryLou.  It's quite funny in parts. Both parties have a great sense of humour. Not sure what Teejay's translation would be!

I'll keep watch to see if it happens to play over here.  I'm sure I would like it.  Maybe I can get Teejay to translate for me!

   I was thinking of you when I posted the message thinking I know Teejay won't be watching! lol

It was interesting but didn't quite grab me in the way I expected it to.

Oh Teejay, at least you know you are not alone!!!  It was just over a month ago, that darn update messed my PC up so bad I had to format and start over.  I did download a new version of win 10 that already had the stupid update in it.  It installed with no problems and so far all is well.  (knocking on wood).
I wish I could help you but all I can do is sympathize like everyone one else!

I'm very lucky in that I haven't had a windows problem so far.  I just let it automatically update on both the desktop and the laptop.  On the other hand, I did have some problems with my last one upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10.  Did eventually get it all ironed out but as I recall, it was stressful.  Don't know what I can say to help other than to sympathize with you and hope all goes well!

Teejay I  am sorry to hear about you Computer hope you get it all sorted out I have a technician that I call on and I would be lost without him.  Which reminds me I must give him a call soon mu computer is way over due for a service.  I still have window 7 on my desktop and have now troubles.

But with my laptop I am have lots of  problems when Windows 10 has an update.  Sometimes it is okay and other it just messes things up.
