This is just too funny not to pass on: The Morning News, Is He Cute Or Is He British?
I once spent a happy, drunken evening with my English friend Debs and our Welsh friend Aaron, sitting in Debs' lounge in Trefor, north Wales, making Aaron repeat the words 'guarantee', 'Llanrwst', and the phrase 'it's at the bottom of a runway', because when he said those things, they sounded like heaven.
(Remember A Fish Called Wanda? Remember Wanda's ... 'reaction' to foreign accents? Yup. Ditto.)

 I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience. |

Americans associate Burberry with charm and style? How quaint...

My other half is a North Walian. I've found myself using her phrases and the way she pronounces certain words!
