Grumpy old men

[stevewool]

we all complain it could be the weather where we live and so on but home is where the heart is and at this moment my heart is not here in england only my work that will get me to that better place i hope

I`m ok for about 2 days in the P.I. Then something winds me up then I really start to feel the heat, then I`ve lost it, plus the fact i get bored stiff. Smiling at the family gets tiring and conversation is difficult, made worse by the fact I`m a fast talking Londoner and they do`nt always follow what I`m saying.
Then when I get home I`m surrounded by more people who do`nt always understand me, so I`m just as bad here

I`m just old and moany wherever I am my wife wrote this

I get that all the time - "You're so slang," I'm always told. Hold on, we're talking in English and I'm from the middle of the England, and you think I'm talking slang Try telling them they got this weird American kind of twang and they won't have it

LOL I get the same that they dont understand me and often the accent they dont get the most is if i speak in a cut glass well spoken surrey BBC English

Then when you meet people and they go where you from you say Egland and a little later they mention I have a funny English accent. I then explain im speaking it as it should be the expression apears on their face

The best are my Wifes friends who work for an online English Language school now they know im English they wont dare complain But you can see them really having to compute when i switch accents just for the hell of it or the Wife who now has a couple of different English accents she has perfected start swapping accents in mid convo

The wife was told she would need to learn a Yank accent if she was to work at the online language school mentioned above untill they realised she was speaking with an English accent which the students from various countries would pay a fortune to learn and copy
