That reminds me. I am a northerner but have lived may years in the south. In the north it was no problem to speak to strangers, say in a bar. But if I tried the same thing in the south they make me feel like I was gay or something. The loneliest place I ever lived was Bedford. Unless you grew up with them they do not want to know.
It's good to talk, here in TX everyone wants to talk to the guy with the funny accent, good icebreaker that and the kilt.
When I lived in the Lone Star, and folk queried my accent, I used to tell the Houstonians that I was from East Texas.... They would nod sagely.

I Sometimes I act 'blokey' and working class; other times the opposite- rather like a chameleon.
I admire people who can 'be themselves' in any company- people who never compromise their personalities. I will never be one of them.
i want to indulge in a bit of buffoonery then the slacked mouthed patois comes out in full force
