Maybe I need a thread about RedNeck traditions. I am too lazy to figure out your local time, so what time is it. I think you are five hours ahead.

I love Britain and will always be British, I just hate the dumbing down of a fine country. I still hope that the good decent folk are outnumbering the chav's/Ned's but those folks seem to have a louder voice now.

Also, why is it that regional accents seem to be dissapearing to be replaced by an amalgum of Essex/south east accents? Nothing wrong with those accents but the ones who want to reduce everything to the lowest common denomonater seem to have adopted it on masse!

I am thinking of moving back one day but if I do I think it would be up to the wild west of Scotland, slower pace of life which suites me. I think the England that goodwatch mentioned largely only exists now in TV shows, I am sure it can be found but it is few and far apart sadly.

I got relatives that live 4 mile from me n I car understand a wurd they sez coz there accent is stonger thun mine.

I can speak in a posh manner using the correct phrases and terminology as anyone but that ay me.

I'm proud to come from what we call God's Country. The workshop of the World in the middle of the Country.

I'm proud to be British, Proud to be English and Proud of my Accent.

Further to my post about "queuing" earlier, Some may (and do) see this as a weakness. It is not, we IMO, believe in fairness as a nation. So it follows that they who arrived first, take priority over later arrivals, hence the good old British queue. Fairness is another great British tradition and attribute......Unfortunately the rest of the worlds football and rugby refs fail to understand this concept!!!!!!
