Not all us Injuns are drunken, lazy, and careless you know. Turnip.
If you can find a "dead" car where the Oliver/Osoyoos clan are, it is likely having surgery and will be revived. There are examples like that all over BC. North of them is the Okanagan clan and they had a lumber mill, now they have gas stations, stores, a woodworking shop, etc. CDNBear is a welder and I would make a bet Mrs. Bear keeps their yard and home in decent shape as do I, my parents, my sister lives in North Van in a overly pricey (in my opinion) condo 4000 stories up in the air (a bit of exaggeration).

The Shuswaps aren't that ambitious.

Aren't the English the indigenous peoples of England.

Looks like Trudeau just complemented Blackleaf.

Actually, no. The English are emphatically NOT the indigenous people of Britain. The Welsh and Cornish are and they are from a completely different linguistic, genetic and cultural group that the German English ... look different, too.

My mother was Welsh and my father was Germanic British. That would make me the British version of Metis.

If I remember correctly I think the early inhabitants of Great Britain were Celtic and Gaelic but after 1066, the Normans (French) moved in and most British today are descendents of the French, Germans and Scandinavians - in other words Anglo- Saxons.

you poor, hapless turnip.

An apt description of a couple more on the forum!:) :) :) :) :) Good one, Anna.

The Welsh still speak Gaelic. They are not like the rest of the British.

Not quite. The original inhabitants of Britain were the Welsh, Cornish. The Romans invaded in 43 AD, stayed for 400 years, then abruptly left. When they went, it left a vaccum that drew in barbarians from all sides. The Gaelic speaking Scots invaded from the island of Ireland. The Saxons invaded from Frisia. The Angles moved in from Denmark ... all around 450 AD. (The Welsh tale of King Arthur is partly about repulsing the Saxon invaders). The Normans came along 600 years later and kicked the crap out of everybody, pretty much wiping out the Saxon culture that had come to dominate the Eastern part of Britain.

The Welsh speak Cymraeg. The Scots and Irish speak Gaelic. They are distantly related, about like German and English are.

The Welsh never spoke Gaelic, Wa-Na-Be. The Welsh speak Welsh.

There are three branches of the Celtic languages in the British Isles: Gaelic, which is Irish and Gallic (Scotland), Briton, which is Welsh and a related language spoken in parts of Brittany, and Manx.

Thats OK I'm working hard to keep the stereotype alive for the poor dump citiots. There are a few dead cars stacked in my yard and they are staying until the price of scrap goes back up to where it should be.
