I'd say excentric.

You can say it, but you cannot spell it

[realityhack]

Super mega posh

I might buy into eccentric, but super mega posh? I didn't go to Eton or Winchester, you know...

You'll see - as soon as I've spent more than 5 min up North, my accent will kick in slightly.

I can see it now, it will be just like sticking your average english man amoungst a bunch of americans.

"I say old chaps, I seem to sound more English than ever today. Can't for the life of me think why.... Spiffing day isn't it what."

OI!

I meant my Northern accent! My Northern accent is, er, accentuated when I go up North.


Tally Ho

It's just what us English people do

Reminds me of my most embarrasing moment ever. Me and a bunch of mates went up to Newcastle for an engagement party (Newcastle lass who had moved down south for a few years and then gone back up north).

We sounded like we all had plums stuck in our mouths. The embarrasing part was when I bought the first round and one of my mates (who had been out on the piss the night before and was still suffering) decided he would start the night with a shandy......

Have you any idea how embarrasing it is to walk up to a bar in the middle of Newcastle and watch everybody stop talking and stare at you as you say "I say old chap could I have a Vodka, a couple of beers and a.... a shandy...."

Ardesco, reinforcing the shandy drinking southerners stereotype for our Northern bretherin.......

My best mate went into a pub and asked for a "tulipter bandy" once. Edit - not the tulip bit obviously. Do a Spoonerism on "bitter shandy", and you'll get my drift.
