yes but Marco is Belgian and speaking almost perfect English but with little practical knowledge of British wildlife and locales. “Staffie” might leave him a bit puzzled. I was keeping it simple for him.
As a speaker of a few languages, I know from bitter experience that’s it’s the hardest thing when you have to untangle irony mixed with local reference and make sense of it in the language that your head is using. I mean Vienna, new year pigs and marzipan ? That one had me thrown till a local explained it slowly
@Marcoelwray a staffie is a slang name for a breed of dog, a Staffordshire terrier. Heavy, thick set, often used in illegal dog fighting. Some are nice and some are unpredictable at best.
