Answers
1 SCOTTISH ACCENTS
I had a wee chat with a big chap from Glasgee. I'll say that again. I had a wee (small) chat with a big chap from Glasgee (Glasgow). (After five minutes chat I can make an attempt at a Glasgow accent. I also have a Scottish friend, Fiona, who I see every year at a Writers' Holiday or a Writers' Summer School. But her accent is Edinburgh. To understand the accent or speak it, repeat what somebody says to yourself a few minutes later. Also listen to the Scottish accent announcers on British television news.

Story
I told him I'd tried the soup in bread in Prague. He has visited Prague several times. His other favourite city is San Francisco, USA.

He said you get the same soup in a smaller bread bowl, more the size of a roll, in America, especially San Francisco.

He says you can also get soup in bread bowls in the UK, and eat the roll.

I asked, "You mean American chains of restaurants in the UK? Can you name one?"
He thinks you can get soup in a bread bowl in Frankie and Benny's.

Tips
LUNCH IN PRAGUE
In Prague some of the restaurants offer a two or three course lunch for little more than the cost of a one course meal.

XMAS ACTIVITY
I thought that you would need to go to a non Christian country to find attractions open on Christmas Day. But places are increasingly opening for the Xmas tourist trade. In Prague the Kafka Museum was open on Xmas Day, shorter hours, but still open.
