Are you a posh bird then?

Steady, Mellors!

A couple of weeks ago I was asked by a Scotsman where North of the Border I hailed from.

He was shocked when I said I only visit occasionally, he said that he could have sworn that he detected a lilt of an accent, as if I'd been away for many years but it was still there.

Wot Brillo said

And while in a skiing class this year a French woman asked me if I went to a 'centre of excellence' for my accent, a Berlitz examiner had to explain the concept of RP to the group (in French - I didn't know where to start..)

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

That is definitely not northern oik, but southern-shandy-drinking-poof.

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.

Sheesh - all you northerners sound the same - except the Geordies, SA sounds funny.

And you lot down south all sound the same - except the cider people - they are REALLY funny!

Is that a fact?

Remind me to show you the border between us and "them". It runs through the Kings arms!

Bloody heathen, it's the 4 YORKSHIREMEN, time to declare war on the rancid Lancastrians again I suppose.

I wouldn't bother mate, you'll only f'kin lose again!

[BrilloPad]

You want to find yourself a decent woman, mate.

Damn good job you've not married her, I say.

Sack cloth? Luxury! When I were a nipper we had to cuddle a rock.

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.

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.

[NotAllThere]

Yorkshire folk, just like Lancashire folk b'out brains.
