Well, Surrey has it's own little coterie of garbled speakers..the type who pronounce house as "hayse", for example. I suppose that's what happens when one takes it too far the other way..

Are they the lot that think that a crèche is what happens when two cars hit one anohter?

Is that some spooneristic analogue to 'Accidents in the back seat cause children'?

I'm originally from Northern Ireland but have a bland Southern English accent. At least I've never picked up a real Devon accent.

I quite like a west country accent myself. What ever happened to Pam Ayres and The Worzels?

There's a thing up here about posh people in Edinburgh and Glasgow (although I think it refers more to somewhat pretentious, Hyacinth Bouquet types than anything) -

"Sex is what the coal comes in."

Exactly the type. They also have to live in houses called "The Gables" and "Willow Trees" when there is neither a gable nor willow tree in sight! About the same level as calling your house "Dunroamin'" which I would like to see made into a criminal offence.

Off topic, but a work colleague's friend named her house after her grandparents, Pat and Ella. You guessed it, the house is now proudly adorned with the name "Patella".

Not sure whether that qualifies for or .

I want to buy a wee place in the country and call it

I could say I lived in Cottage Cheese
