OMG SOMEONE FROM ORMSKIRK ON RADIO ONE OMG OMG OMG.

I have no idea who they are but the accent was SO FAMILIAR and SO WONDERFUL. And she picked a song that I LIKE. So I am JUMPING AROUND to it BECAUSE IT IS FROM MY HOME TOWN!

...

Okay, I spent my tutorial defending Ormskirk to the guy from London. I'm feeling faintly patriotic, if that's the term. Oh, local accent! *tear*

OH DEAR GOD NOW IT'S SOMEONE FROM BURY. GOD THE ACCENTS THE ACCENTS IT'S BLISSFUL.

I had to battle with the Wigan accent for two years, so I know what you mean. *grins* It's jus lovely hearing some Northern accents again!

Did the person from London have the same woad/camp fire image of the north as I did?

No, although he did seem to assume that I was eying him up, ready to mug him.

I do so love telling people that I'm from Liverpool. We are obviously the heir to the Vikings in our raiding and plundering. Plus I can rather smugly say that actually, I am of Viking stock, so then they look really scared.
