I'll ask around here as I know quite a few expats working for Thai companies. And the British, well, I haven't figured them out either (although 'Watching the English' did have a lot of ah ha's :-) so I'll be looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the UK.

I'm going to try what you suggested in the coming weeks to see how it works. Not to intentionally upset anyone, but to see if I can get a minor response. And I'll ask my Thai teacher if that is what she is getting from me too. She's pretty aware of the differences so it'll be interesting.
