No worries. Maybe you should come to Cov and Sarah and I will buy you a batch... not a batch of teacakes, just a batch... which is one bread roll

great! now i got all veez english accents in me 'ead, fanks you lot.
didnt being sent to coventry mean some sort of punishment way back when?
To send someone to Coventry is a British phrase meaning to ostracise somebody,specifically to not talk to them.It was sometimes used as a way of punishing people who,for example,would not join a strike in a factory for better pay and conditions. Sometimes children use it as a way of bullying others
well there you go

Mark, if you're picking up this accent after a week and a half, I really, REALLY feel for you. Do you pick up accents easily? Thankfully, I don't seem to. After four years of living in Birmingham, no one has ever said that I have any kind of brummie twang, and so far, I can say the same of Coventry after living here for...3 months. Not that there's anything WRONG with the Coventry accent...but there isn't much right with it either.
As for Coventry being horrible...it's just a city. Most cities are horrible. Especially London (IMO...I hate that place). It has it's good parts and it's bad parts. Granted, there's a distinct lack of any sort of logic in the town centre, and I can't find anything apart from Ikea, which you can see from Sweden, but i'll let the off as they got bomed to fook in some sort of war.
No matter how many times I hear the word 'batch' in reference to a bread roll, it doesn't fit. Alarms go off in my head...cuz it's not a fecking batch! I work in Birmingham and I heard people arguing about it the other week.

I know what you mean, and of course all cities have bad parts but they usually have redeeming factors too, I've just never found that in Coventry. Apart from Sian and Sarah of course London is absolutely horrible in parts but it literally has everything you could ever need. Coventry just always kind of depressed me as a kid, you know when you have places your parents would drag you to and you just knew it was going to be a bad day?
Having said that, this is all based on when I was a kid. I haven't been for a couple of years. Maybe the fun is there when you look for it?
