I just saw a commercial for Cheer detergent. English Cleaning lady comes in to teach us how to do our laundry. What ? we don't know how to clean our laundry. She likes to have a pint when not cleaning clothes...probably enjoying a few with our friend Leslie. What say Sir L. (the commerical crackes me up and I love her accent too) Leslie do you have that proper English also when you are speaking to us....LOL www.cheer.com/cheer-laundress/meet-laundress.shtml

Nay lass, I divm't tark posh here - Ise a laal lad frae Cummerlan and we think arl them suthernrs are pansies cos they tark as if theyve a plum in t'mouth.
But, of course, my dear, I didn't reach the status level at which I find myself by unearthing my roots - so I talk posher than even the poshness of the southerners.
I've even been known to talk Geordie (Newcastle), Yorkshire and even Scottish - usually when I've had a week long training course with a lot of people from those areas. I bet I could talk American after a few days - mind i wouldn't know what I was talking about!
Some good jokes coming from you since the start of the New Year - I've meant to say so before but circumstances were agin it.
Leslie

You are just a ball of fire...cracking me up here Laddie. Interesting theory I heard the other day about our infomercials on the telly. They say that they use English speaking people because they seem to sell us better. I always noticed that most have English accents and even when I would go to say a state fair where there were demos for selling they were always done by English (accents)...not language. So I'm going to stay away from you bloody lads.
