No no no, you're supposed to tell people to "speak American" with a twangy accent.

My wife's accent, being from "Up North" is a tweener. Neigher the English or the Scots will claim them and they have just this diabolically horrible accent. The funny thing is that it rubs off on you even during short visits.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to have a Biryani or a Cornish pasty first.

 

[chickiebaby]

Oh, slay me now. I want both the pasty and the biri.

Make sure to post for us when you get them.

The scarey thing is I just may. Caroline is a facebook junky and I'm constantly finding photos of myself from her blackberry looking very unawake or unprepared to have my fat mug posted all over the interweb.

Also, you haven't lived until you've had a Vindaloo after about 15 pints and 6 scotch eggs. I will go no further into the details.

 

[greyfields]

I want Scotch Eggs and I want them now.

All my Atkin ancestors are from Worcestershire. But I've never been out of the US except for Niagra falls.

Have a great time!

The village my ma was born in is in Worcestershire now; but most of the family have moved a little west into Herefordshire except for those left at the Manor Farm.

Really gorgeous country down there. Lots of orchards, ciders, sheep, cows. They do a lot with the ground considering it's pretty claggy stuff.
