So far it took him 7 days and 26 posts to get nowhere. 🙂

Patience is a virtue. I'd have lost my rag by now

Ahhh, funny UK sayings.  I had to look that one up.  That's one to remember next time I'm around my anglofile relatives.

Yes, I was about to lose it myself.  And the issues at work didn't help either.

I think they'd probably appreciate: Fancy a pint, me old mucker?

"lost my rag" definitely not to be confused with "on the rag" (an old slang for a woman's menstruation).

I'm not trying to be funny.  My wife is a non-native english speaker and sometimes makes mistakes like these in company where everyone else but her is aware of the meaning.  When both phrases are somewhat similar to the ear, it can turn into a minefield.

Ah yes. The words "jam rags" appeared on a grocery list in the background of a soap opera called Emmerdale here in the UK last year, got the show into tremendous trouble!

I spent my student years in Leicester, and being from the north of England I was surprised to the point of suppressing mirth when a big chap of serious build approached me and asked for directions, ending his question with "me duck?". "Duck" is an affectionate term, like "pet" or "darling" normally aimed at children or ladies, but in the some areas it's more commonly used to end any sentence, depsite who's saying it or to whom the sentence is pitched. So, "Fancy a pint, me duck?" is something you might hear said between guys. As a northerner, an area proud of it's hard history, it would make you sound wet and likely get you some very odd looks if said at, say, a bar or club. If said regularly I suspect you'd attract some trouble.
