    I went to my nearest little town yesterday, and decided to have a coffee in a nice cafe before returning home.
    As I sat there, a lady went up to the counter, and the waitress said to her "Hi Linda, what are you having today bird ?" .... Bird ! :heehee: I've never heard anyone being called that before :heehee:
    Around here they call you 'Boy' or 'Wass' (derived from Gwas - Welsh for servant) or sometimes 'Mate' , and in Swansea they call you 'Doll' :yikes: but I've never heard 'bird' before !
