I see. . . . . . . .
There are also those people of a generally grander stature, and girth, of slightly darker colour who seem to be appropriate choices for rugby football players and are even more difficult to comprehend.

Those in the South still speak the Queen's English, although it is spoken much as Mary Queen of Scots would have spoken it. Next time you're talking to a native of Invercargill, ask him if it was he you spotted wearing a purple workshirt in Ashburton. "Aye would'na be wearing a wee purrrrple worrrrkshirrrrrrt in Ashburrrrrton!"
Well I never. You see what a closeted life on this little island in the North Sea can do.
