Just a point from something Morgan said way back in March- what be wrong with "Oo-arr, ye combine 'arvester" type of accents? Bloody northerners. I'll tell you that most people I know thoroughly embrace them.... then again, most of the people I associate with are Wurzels fans and are a mite agricultural themselves... well, very agricultural, most of them being farmers' sons.
Anyway, I find myself often slipping into west country speak, which is pretty similar to pirate speak. I still manage proper english a good proportion of the time though. Never the Queen's english, that is far too nobby for my liking, but proper enough....
