sussex 5,803 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 My wife does the same with the clan call but the second she puts the phone down she's back to normal .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I think some people do it and some people don't. My mrs sounded American for a day last time we got back from the states and Scottish when we got back from jockland. Now it's just the odd word. She just cannot say Arthur - sounds like Arrrrturrrrr.

Mrs.B is from Dunstable and anything that tastes unpleasant is 'gopping'. Something I thought only my mrs said, but I've heard a few other paddies use is if something is going to be "not much longer" she will say "not too long more." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knew you was posh butt , taxi's with sat nav that's just showing off. Me posh? I nearly spat out my macchiato then. Actually most of the cabs round here have sat navs because the drivers are foreign and can't find their way. We got a cab to Wimbledon stadium last year and the first thing the driver asked is "What's the postcode?" ...and I didn't know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
