Have to admit, as a Cdn (we have many Brits here), I've never heard of "belling" someone...

Bell, as in ring, as in call.....

No, of course I figured that out... I've, of course, heard of ringing someone, but not belling someone.

Incidentally, in North America, you call someone AT 604-222-4567, but in the UK you call someone ON 604-222-4567.

Is that to enquire or inquire?

As recipient of said bell, would that make you the bell end?

Well it certainly would in some cases

Well, let me then say... I can say it's for sure in Canada. I also can say, other than a notable few ways you say things (pronunciations) there are relatively few differences in the vernacular between Americans and Canadians. Then again, US TV, movies, etc. predominate here. But also UK produced media too. We get it all .

Educate me, please. I (perhaps mistakenly) use those two interchangeably...

It's about asking whether the paint colour is blue, or the paint color is blue.

 

[DLax69]

Well it certainly would in some cases

Hey!!

 

[CatmanV2]

Hey!!

If the cap fits....

[Cdn17Sport6MT]

We Cdns say colour, favour, but we also say minimize (not minimise). And most of us say Mom, not Mum.

It's about asking whether the paint colour is blue, or the paint color is blue.

With the first way being the correct way.

If the bell fits surely.....

And hoose.

And hoose.

Also 'moose'?

Which can perhaps get confusing if you have a nest of the little sods in your attic.

Hi all.

Update.
Unfortunately this mechanic having used him for a simple gasket replacement hasn't been the postive experience I was expecting after the initial contact last January.
Just one problem after another.
List is quite extensive.
So based on my more recent experience I would not recommend him in anyway.
Didn't want to have to change my thread but I wouldn't want anyone else to have the negative experience I had.
