That was just a sarcastic, patronising jape that relies on the stereotype that everyone who comes from south of Birmingham and west of Reading talks like the Wurzels. But since I was born in Devon, I'm allowed, like black people can use the n-word.<BR/><BR/>However, the truth is even more disturbing.

Someone I may or may not be married to confessed to thinking that rabbit was "really fanciable". Anyway, they must have altered her normally squeaky little voice.<BR/><BR/>It's quite funny seeing her on television after years of reading her banging on about being "from working class blood royal" and all that stuff. She ends up interviewing people like Jade Goody or Jordan and 'er Bristol accent dunnarf suddenly get broad, it do.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296810448779372875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-1144143079531291352006-04-04T10:31:00.000+01:002006-04-04T10:31:00.000+01:00I used to love it when she interrupted the earnest...I used to love it when she interrupted the earnest diatribes of The Modern Review (equal best magazine ever with BLITZ) by talking about how Jewish men had the best willies. The thing was, she was pretending to be undercutting the studenty pretension of Toby Young and Nick Lezard etc with her razor-sharp working-class savvy, but I reckon it was just that she couldn't be bothered wiv all vem long words.<BR/><BR/>Did you know that she provided the voice of the Caramel bunny in the adverts?Tim Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681067872556519250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-1144141682758055482006-04-04T10:08:00.000+01:002006-04-04T10:08:00.000+01:00I've read spam e-mails which seem to comprise the ...I've read spam e-mails which seem to comprise the lyrics from entire Fall albums.
