*No tip for Bree again and looks around for a complaint form*

[Barefoot Bree]

*Slips complaint forms off the counter and double-checks that the poster giving the toll-free corporate number is properly ripped and graffitied over.*

[neilstone40]

*Already has the toll free number on speed dial due to previous complaints and is actually on first name terms with most of the people in the department that was specifically set up to deal with complaints about Bree and resultant compensation claims for scald injuries*

[Amz_ED]

Werid..... oh no! :p its okay .....

[Silly Sausage]

Hi Amz_ED,

I'm an Essex girl by birth, lived in Birmingham for 3 years and I'm now living in Yorkshire. I was going to try and type something in a Yorkshire accent, but I doubt very much I'd do it justice, lol.

Welcome to the forum, I hope you like it here :)

[Clivedurdle]

Welcome!

Actually, being able to type in accents would be fascinating. For example how would bath be typed to show where you are from.

I'm an Essex girl by birth,

SO an Essex girl walks into the Benefits office.....

You just type as usual, and give the instruction that it's to be pronounced as it's spelled.

Slightly archaic British dialects are perceived as "phonetic" by a native speaker of German. :)

Oooh, please, it might be one I've never heard of :D
As it might derail Amz_ED's intro thread, feel free to PM me the punchline.

[Barefoot Bree]

Oh, no you don't. If there's a punchline going around, I want to hear it too!

[Wizofoz]

K...

Essex Girl (mid twenties) goes into the benefits Office-

Guy behind Counter:- "Name?"

Essex Girl "Tarquin Jacinta Smith"

GBC- "AGE"

EG "Twenty Five"

GBC "Number of Children"

EG "Eight"

GBC" And their names?"

EG" Nigel, Nigel, Nigel, Nigel, Nigel, Nigel, Nigel and Nigel"

GBC "What, they're ALL called Nigel? Doesn't that get confusing?"

EG "Nah, 's great! If I want 'em all in for dinner I yell "Nigel- Get in for Dinner" If I want 'em in bed, I yell "Nigel, get to Bed!""

GBC "Yeah, but what if you want to only talk to ONE of them?"

EG "Oh, well, then I call them by their Surname....."

[Silly Sausage]

Like it, and it has some truth to it too, lol.
