Oddly enough, the slang expression "prat" came up in conversation at Homeground central after the Con last November... We were watching an unedited tape of Kate's interview in NYC when HoL was just out (Chris & Vickie were in the studio at the time, but I don't think they were responsible for getting the tape out). The woman interviewer was just astoundingly ill-informed and unimaginative, and we could watch Kate's patience growing thin as the hour (or more) ran on. At one point she misspoke, saying "prat" for I-forget-what, and the Brits in the room burst out laughing, explaining that "prat" is the female equivalent of calling someone a dick... Thanks to Ron for the photos!!! We must award him some lh equivalent of the Legion of Honor...(hmmm... coincidence of initials noted on the fly). I will post Monday (or so) a key to the identities of most of the lovehounds in the group photos, as reconstructed from fading faulty memories by me'n'Vickie. Corrections gratefully acknowledged, especially if it's you we got wrong! .................................................................. "Is it you I'm feeling?"
