It's worse. It' like trying to interpret Seafort's and Reliant's local slang.

This coming from a guy whose local dialect necessitates subtitles for other Brits. ;)

Ah, I can't really associate myself with an area of heritage. I should be wondering around like a cockney based on my home, but living in Italy disconnected me from that. My parents have always raised me to be quintessentially english in speech, so I'm not a "Pompey Lad" either. I sound, at best, like someone from a small, expensive village in Surrey. :lol:

That's a long way north from where I was born, and even longer North-west from where I live.

At least, long way to us.

Sorry, narrowing down localities within a particular region of England is something of which I am almost completely incapable.
