Just thought of a story to do with accents. Our best friends live in Reading - she comes from Bristol originally and he from Slough.

When they moved house to a very posh part of Reading, we helped them move in and get ready for a house warming. We ran out of food so thought we would pop off to the local supermarket for bits and pieces. We went in our jeans and tops and got there to find -

All these Hyacinth Buckets in their pearls and Sunday best putting on their best accents.

Well being the way we are, the two of us looked at each other and went into the broadest Bristol accents you can every find i.e. talking about "that be gurt lush looking over ther" and "our ma said that she wanted the velvut toilet paper" and "I wish we ad gone down to Asdas up Bemmie Down theym a lot cheaper than in yer" and "have you got an ideal what you wants ta buy"




They turned their noses up because of the way we spoke, but I bet we were much nicer people underneath than they were.

Dont judge people by their accent - some of the nastiest people I know talk with a plum in their gob.
