    I do get a fair share of comments about my accent considering I don't think I've got one...

    Oh Ai saay wot thats a little harsh my man wot wot.
    Can one not enter into some banter on ones prefered internet discussion forum thingy with out being insulted by the riff-raff.
    I believe Sir that you are somewhat of a cad and a bounder! One has never in all ones life even considered drinking anything as positively proletarian as a "shandy" and one must deny most wholeheartedly that one is a poof (that episode with Sebastian in Woking was really blown out of proportion in a most disagreeable way).
    I would hope Sir that you would withdraw your remark immediatly.

    When I was seven I plucked up the courage to ask my Mum why I didn't have (and had never had) a Teddy

    "Boys don't need one."

    "All my friends have one."

    "Harrumph."

    A few days later I had a knitted Snoopy, made by my Mum.

    "Consider yourself lucky. When I was a girl I asked my step mother for a dolly. I was given a wooden spoon and a rag of cloth to tie round it for a frock. That was my dolly until my step mother saw I had drawn a face on it. That got my arse rattled." Such was life in a Yorkshire mill town in the 1930s.


    I cannot remember what happened to my knitted Snoopy. I think my big bruvvas took the piss, and so I rejected it.


    I hated my childhood. Utterly.
