I guess that takes out the Southern accent.

Not quite. Chickamauga is right over the line (10 minutes from my home). Helen is a few miles south of the NC border in the mountains. It is a German village type of place. They will be having Octoberfest. :slurp:

LMAO!

Tell him hi and I hope he's having a terrible time :wave:

Seriously, I hope he's having a lot of fun down there. Any chance he'll be bring back some mullet pics? :drevil:

MouseMadness · Sep 18, 2004

Hey! How long will he be there? I'm leaving Tuesday, perhaps I can stalk him *whilst* I'm there!! :wave: :sohappy: :lookaroun

The Mom · Sep 18, 2004

I miss him too. I've always been especially fond of our British friends; we seem to understand each other. :lol:

(Maybe it's because I grew up eating fish and chips, with vinegar on the chips. :lol: )

The Mom · Sep 18, 2004

Hey disneymoc, it's too bad we're not going to Fairfield Glade again this year; we usually stop over in Chattanooga. Love the Aquarium, and we found a "hole in wall" Thai restaurant nearby that was pretty decent.

The Mom · Sep 18, 2004

Maybe you Brits would like a sort of Bawstin accent? :lol:

BTW, any of you Family Guy fans...Peter etal pronounce Pawtucket incorrectly. Close, and pretty good for a non-natives, but still not quite right. :animwink:

Pippa · Sep 18, 2004

I'm baffled, why is it that british accents are so cool?? Or is it only posh british accents? I am a Sussex girl born and bred but I can do a good cockney accent, are they cool too? Cor blimey guv'nor!! :lol:

stranger · Sep 18, 2004

Pippa, they all sound good to me :lol:

Anyone interested in a soft spanish accent? :lookaroun

They're all intriguing :lol: and we do our best to imitate, though it never sounds right.

The only exception I've known is my cousin April, who, one time, having been stopped for directions by a British couple, answered back in their own accent. They exclaimed how refreshing it was to find someone from home, and apologized for stopping her since she likely didn't know the area any better than they did. :king: Now THAT is a good imitation. She assured them she knew the area quite well, directed them on their way, and had a good laugh (and a pat on the back).

I have to agree with those who say even the swearing sounds better in English-English!
