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

Carry on.
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.

"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.

Loving your work Dave, that was quality. It's been a long wait for a laugh on here, but that was just about worth it.
