And I hit them in the skull. If they want to talk like that they can go back to England. This is America, we speak American.

Give her a firm slap across the buttocks. Women respond to that sort of thing.

I use various British curse words pretty regularly, as well as British pronunciation on many other words. British English simply sounds more intelligent.

You don't fool me... you're a Francophile. That's why you hate Britain; you still seek revenge on the Old Enemy. Well, I've got news for you, buddy... the Sun King is dead! Rule Britannia!

I want a woman with a thick Yorkshire accent to spank me and call me a dirty ******.

Right... but I am a pretentious boffin.

I support the Japanese view

No love for Canadians and our unholy accent of three different nations, imperfectly cooked and thrust onto the world's platter?

[LittleGrizzly]

Britian would have a far more entertaining image abroad if everyone thought we had a thick yorkshire/welsh/geordie/scouser accent instead of posh, charming and polite one.. would have improved Friends and Fraiser IMO!

er's truth t'be 'ad in 'at air sen'ince, oy tell ye.

Walk into any bar in s.e. asia, or the old 70's NATO nations, where some Yank is holding court. A Brit with a broad yorkie/welsh, etc accent walks in... de wimmins desert de Yank an' flock to the feller with the broad a's. Been there done that. In a different life in another universe (Honey).

You know nothing about culture!

Poppycock you knave!

And I thought British swearing was the same as everyone else's, except they just changed "uc" to "oo".

[pevergreen]

You might very well say that. I couldn't possibly comment on that...


Which is famous catchphrase of an old BBC series. A bit akin to American phrases like 'Hasta la vista, baby!'
Which goes to show that the real difference is not in semantics or spelling, but in the use of language.

I do hope this is exageration. It isn't really that funny. What am I supposed to do, say, "well that shows how frightfully uncivilised you are, you brute!", whilst you all assume I use my most plumby Surrey accent?

Not great fun.

That's basically what I reply to Strike all the time, yeah.


Call me and Strike simple, but we've already had four years of good fun with it.
