    Tis very strange, I think alot of the things are said the same but with a very different accent.

    It's just a lazy way of speaking really.

    That's what Dave says about me. I'm so lazy I don't even pronounce 'L's properly... 'Owl' has evolved to 'Ow' :rolleyes:

    I don't understand why you're worse than I am...i'm a lot more northern than you are! ;) I'm from near Yorkshire, so I should sound really stupid. :p

    No offense to anyone from there.

    I never said you didn't sound stupid! :p (there's another Coventry-ism - 'never' instead of 'didn't')

    I don't know why I sound like this, I just do... You've met my parents, my Dad's worse than I am! :eek::D

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    We do sound very similar to Lauren but minus the London twang.

    We also sound similar to Vicki Pollard from Little Britain.

    Sad, but very very true :(

    People in Warwick, Stratford and Leamington do all speak posh. We don't like their types... :p

    You should've headed towards Tilehill... or even Hillfields! Damn classy areas them.

    I'm sorry I've destroyed your memories :(
