You can imagine what it was like with hubby and I - especially as a lot of our 'courtship' was via telephone.

Actually, we had a conversation last night where hubby was talking about (what I thought) was a baa cake. I kept asking what a baa cake was and he kept saying 'not baa - BAA!' After 5 minutes of going round in circles, I discovered he was saying bar, not baa. He got some stick for not pronouncing his 'rrrrr' properly.

He meant a rectangular slab of cake, btw.

this is what gets me so annoyed Brummies don't speak like that - it's a Black Country accent (Dudley, Cradley Heath, Wednesbury) but not Brummie   that advert makes me go apoplectic

I was sent for electrocution lessons to get rid of my Irish accent as it meant you were liable to get your head kicked in for being Irish due to the pub bombings here.  I do a rather good version of 'How now brrrrrrown cow'  I can roll my Rs
