It didn't work for me either when I was in this specific post, but if I went back to my main blog page and scrolled through the posts to this one, REPLY did work. However, I'm sure that will all change again tomorrow!<br /><br />My 17-year-old (now 30) English nephew was incensed when he visited us in San Francisco and saw that one of the TV stations had English subtitles for a British film. As he put it, "Well, it's already bloody English, isn't it!?!?"Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-51998968039408833602013-05-12T14:57:55.897+02:002013-05-12T14:57:55.897+02:00Dear Mitchell,

I like that.<br /><br />I well recall trying to make my British-English Surrey accent understood in a New York diner... I felt so delightfully foreign!

It's probably the town's most famous feature. Used to see it from the train whenever I travelled from where I used to live in Oxford to my mum's in north-east England. <br />Still don't know why the Chesterfield area accent should be particularly difficult - but then I dare say you might well have problems deciphering my own!Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-36261654460202188542013-05-11T13:08:51.786+02:002013-05-11T13:08:51.786+02:00Raybeard:
