They talk funny. A bit like Brummy, but more northern "like". Actually they sound a bit like you do Nick.

I'm a mixture of Liverpool and Bedford (we moved from the former to the latter when I was a kid). Leicester people can tell immediately that I'm not native.

I hate Leicester, but only because I am stuck here. In fairness it's not a bad place, and their cheese is the best for cheese on toast. And they made Gary Linekar. So all in all not a bad place.

How's your past 24 hours been?

Unless you never had a permanent job and never worked in a company with people that do, that's a rather stupid thing to say.

Exactly like that. Only southern. My wife calls me a fat Pilkington.

Having met Suity and been drinking with him in Munich, I'd say that story is 100% true. He really can get that lost when he's sober, never mind pissed.
