My dear, love, mate, hun, sir.... what do you say?

My accent is a real mixture having lived in a few different areas - also, I tend to pick up the accents of anyone I spend time with. When i was in my early twenties, both my head of department and a girl i shared a house with were Welsh & I found myself picking up phrases like "there's nice" without intending to. People think I'm 'posh' because I pronounce bath and path as though they have an 'r' in. I tell them its just because I was born in the south.

Thing is, I am probably one of the least 'posh' people ever I say pretty much what I think and I dont bother about what impression I make on anyone... I am what I am (Hence the name Wizzywig as in WYSIWYG... what you see is what you get) I can see that would be fun meeting up with people to see if their voices matched. I had to make an insurance claim after an accident about 10 years ago and the man who dealt with it all (and it took best part of two years!) sounded like such a nice man that I was almost sorry when it was settled.

Hiya Wizzy, I know people with a "posh" accent well one or two personally and they are really wonderful people. Amongst some English People who lived over here one of them was being rejected socially because of his "posh" accent which I found totally unfair as he was never a bit like they tried to make him out to be it would be their feelings on animosity that made them so blind to see what a nice guy he is. They made me cringe when they talked about somebody like that without knowing him at all. I have a lot of fun poked at me and my Upper Gornal accent but I take it with very good humour as a lot of brains and intelligence has come out of Wolverhampton I know I went to School with them I don´t include myself though (grin). What really matters is what comes out of a person´s heart and not their accent a person voice does not always convey their real personality. At the G.P.O. or British Telecom if you like the Girls were always playing tricks on Men only fun not nasty. They would try to get them to meet up with them outside the Exchange just to see if their voices fitted their personalities and most of the time they did´nt. It´s what comes from inside that counts. They used to try and get me rounded up with their Games for those blind date things and I really did´nt want to do it but I had to admit that they were real fun to work with 200 of us all together of all ages real fun well it was for me.

I tend to think that, if you are talking to them, they know who you mean so you dont really need to call them anything. I'm not too bad remembering names... but I dont even remember my own mobile number.

In the face of overwhelming competition, I hereby award you best response, hun, babe, sweetie

awww, thanks, hun...
