American accents, Bette Midler, Clinton, Rick Fearon, Strathclyde, Morningside
by slimboyfat ini used to enjoy being able to distinguish different local accents, but for some reason i've got worse at it.
i was thinking about this today when i was listening to bette midler on the scottish radio.
i thought to myself i quite liked her accent and also that it reminded me of someone else.

That was back in the day when subscriptions were sold - sorry, 'placed' - for a set price.
Anyone else remember those days? 1960s.
I remember, 7 shillings and sixpence for a full year!

The one located at the Lake District is connected to the K.H. via a gate and wheelchair ramp.
http://www.jah-jireh-maryport.co.uk/"All our fees are in line with Cumbria County Council rates."
Lol. No special discounts then!
My wife's mother is in a nursing home for which the family has to pay £745 PER WEEK.
So it's a real money spinner.

Some more info. I've been aware of Jah Jireh homes for many years now. Initially, according to my JW mother, just one home was set up and that was meant to cater exclusively for elderly witnesses with a long and established history of WT service. That would have been around 20 years ago. My mother had it in mind that as she became more infirm that she would like to apply for a "place" there. So she went to visit. She returned sadly disillusioned. I think she thought that the residents sat around singing Kingdom melodies all day while being waited on hand and foot. Sadly, my mother died shortly afterwards anyway.
