The General Conversation Area

My ex from Swindon used to "deny" having any discernable accent; I think he was trying to disown it or something. I could totally detect the slightest hint of West Country though...and then after a while, he had the audacity to say that he was starting to sound more like me!!!

"It'll be handy for when I move up to Wales one day..." he said...:rolleyes:*cringe*

EDIT: I've gone and put too much sugar in my tea XD
 
My dads from Somerset, he’s largely lost his accent as he’s lived most of his life in Hampshire but if he talks for a while it starts to creep back in and you can hear it.
 
Re. Sugary tea: I still drank it. I'll probably need the sugar rush anyway to carry me through my shift since I didn't sleep much last night...

It was ironic, since my ex was "really into" audio tech and "having an ear for things", for him not to even be able to detect hints of WC in his own accent...(then again I guess I'm being hypocritical - I can't seem to hear why people think I come from Denbigh, or Bala). But he seemed to be more intent on just "not acknowledging it" rather than just being genuinely ignorant to it.

Can't remember where I read it (and it was years ago), but it was some big summit between important wordly people, and apparently Wales was actually omitted from a map of the UK :rolleyes:
Because you know, we're just an extention of England or something. England is like the big posh house, and Wales is the poxy conservatory XD

In fairness, you did get a seat at the United Nations at the end of Black Panther.

By the follicles of the beard of zues -.- looks like I can't take those holidays in July. Or ever. I have to ask guys on the opposite week of shifts if I ever want cover, and I hardly ever see them. Asked The Brother to get some cover for me all of them come up with B.S. not the first time this has happened, but it'll be the last ^.^ I just won't take holidays

Bloody hell, who does he think he is? A rock star? I thought it was them who were supposed to forget where in the world they are.

Like if a rock singer were to walk on stage at Glasgow O2 and yell "Hello Edinburgh!!!"

Ohhhhh.... 😬

It can be quite common in certain area's especially those the gov have in interest in developing overall lol.
To be fair to most rockstars they are generally plastered with booze and stuff so we can't blame them for not knowing where they are ha ha/

At least you guys haven't been completely omitted from the map of the UK at one point :rolleyes:

EDIT: I have no idea who or what a railgun is!

Hopefully a good downpour will alleviate the clamminess for a bit. It’s been killing me all day.

It has just a little bit to be fair, but I know what you mean - I hate being too hot, but when the air is warm and clammy, it's really uncomfortable. My office has a window, but I can't open it. Luckily there's an air-con unit where I can set it to just blast chilled air in the room for a bit.

Bring on the cooler seasons!
