	Clive  +  961500 Wed, 04 Nov 09 02:03 PM Hi, She might at least have called to explain. There's gratitude for you. What does the latter mean here?   There's gratitude for you. The purpose of this remark is to draw the listener's attention to the situation. In addition, the speaker is using sarcasm. He really wants to draw the listener's attention to the person's ingratitude.   Consider this more concrete example. I look out of my window in July and am shorrified to see a metre of snow. I point to it and say to my wife, 'Come and look. There's a great Canadian summer day for you!'   Best wishes, Clive     Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,627 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo
