I used to pronounce where you live:

cari-be/an.

Now I've often heard what I believe to be the truer pronunciation:

caribb-ean.

But used to think that it was a case of ♭"you say tomahto �� and I say ♮ tomayto, let's call the whole thing ♯ off!"

I have taken note that it's a double-b, so I get it now ... "Carrib-ean" it is!

LOL... i still use the spell check for "Care-i-being"
But corrected we stand, it is - Caribbean or Des Caraïbes in the FWI

No one is separate from another. Well gotta go, time to pack because I'm leaving in morning.

Does it say what thread its coming from?
Yup, I thought it would only be green or red too. I can see what thread the allocation comes from, and clicking on the link takes me to the specific post that was judged.

Oi, ya swine!

Your initiation of a discussion about beer has my attention, though, so maybe I'll forgive you this time... I'm generous like that.

Yup, I saw Ferdinand's link, but didn't see anything about a gray square. Like you, I wondered if it might have something to do with a user who cannot allocate rep points. Possibly from a guest user?

Sounds like it should be good fun! Have a good holiday, Satcomer. Let us know how it went, with plenty of photos... of beer, naturally.

Did the Normandy Coast, Pyrenees and Spain in a SMALL Bedford camping car in the 1980s (lent to me by my wife's folks). Best hotel I ever had. It was just trying to find the good spot to park, away from everybody for the night, that was sometimes difficult. Can't do that now. All my spots are taken or have been overtaken. SIGH!

There are some disused spots still available in Liverpool, although I don't think you'll find much of the van left in the morning.
