Lady: Isn't that a big boat Reg?
Man: Yeah, it is a big boat.
Lady: Isn't though Reg, isn't though?

Why do Americans talk like this?

Man: We could get them a place mat that has Quebec written on it?
Lady: What?  Look, I can understand getting souvenirs for yourself but why would anyone want a souvenir with a place name of a place that someone else went on their vacation that they haven't been to?

Fair comment.

We walked really slowly behind an elderly couple along a narrow path from the ship to the security gate.  We couldn't get past them and they didn't know we were behind them.  Then they stood in the middle of the security gate so we couldn't get past and asked the guard how they could get to the top of the hill to the castle.

Guard: Well, there are 3 ways to get to the top.  You could walk up the steps.  There are about 200.  Or you could walk around the walls around the city or you could catch the funicular....... I think he could have probably left out the first two!  Did he not see them hobble to the gate?
