  • Gordon Amidian.

  • Mayor Lee Capfert on Metanette.

  • I beg your pardon, Neil.

  • It's something stuck in your throat.

  • Are you speaking of foreign language?

  • Ha, well, actually, Georgina.

  • I was saying, good morning, please to meet you in English.

  • But not the English you and I speak.

  • That was Anglo-Saxon or Old English.

  • The earliest form of English.

  • Spoken in the Middle Ages.
