Over here, a creep is a toady: one who ingratiates himself with others to curry favour. A good example of this would be the servile Uriah Heep in David Copperfield. He could not differentiate between being civil and being servile - nor did he wish to.

And English gents tend to admire and greatly respect American ladies.

A fascinating topic! Well, over here in England, tradition demands that the gentleman always pays. If the lady kindly offers to help with the costs, this is politely refused.

Good morning! It's almost 5.30 a.m. over here in England, and hot coffee and Earl Grey are waiting if you wish to join me. Plus, of course cigarettes to start the day right! Have a lovely day.

You are quite right about this. Not too far from where I live, there are several isolated places, haunted, of course, which many people tend to avoid even during the daytime.

Ghosts are not the only things there - I haunt them, too!

Agreed absolutely - that is very true over here, too.

A fascinating question - well posted! Well, over here in England - although many would disagree (as they have a perfect right to!) the London Underground system - the "Tube" - would count as one of the scariest ghostly places around. Ghosts include the Victorian track worker who has surprised many a night engineer, the faceless lady who has terrified many, and the ghost of a famous actor wearing 19th. century apparel who happily wanders down the tracks at night.

Ghosts - love em!

I bet it would be interesting over there. You are in an older country so there is more history to use.

I'm chicken lol but I bet it would be interesting....as long as I can bring the ghost busters with me


You would be absolutely fascinated - too fascinated to be worried - and of course you can bring ghostbusters with you! I think of all the ones I have investigated over the years, the faceless ghosts could be the most frightening at first sight.

It would appear that gentlemen are something of a dying breed, sadly. At least, this is what many people have told me - which is a pity. But I and others like me will continue to fly the flag of courtesy, respect, morals and manners.

Was it not Louis, the French king, who said to one of his friends " I can give your son a title but I can never make him a gentleman, for gentlemen are born, not raised".

It's just after 9.30 in the morning over here. Coffee and Earl Grey freshly brewed, wth a full English breakfast and of course cigarettes. Why not come over and join me?

Have a lovely day!

I would grow old absolutely disgracefully: much more fun than growing old gracefully! But I haven't quite worked out exactly how just yet!
