British Expats - Pet Peeves?

I confess, I have all of the DD locations in a database file loaded onto my GPS. :)

Not that I really need it, one of the best things about living where I do is that you can always see the next Dunkin Donuts from the one you are currently in. :lol:

Nah, I can get way better donuts from our local bakery. Their sales haven't gone up because of me though, I lived in this town before they opened.

Why? Either way I'll end up in the ground, I might as well enjoy myself while I wait :nod:

It's the worst one to have, certainly. Mainland UK - I sound like a pikey, out here they call it a brogue.

According to my mum, who knows **** all about anything, I hasten to add, I don't sound the same as I used to anyway.

Sounds like a band, Judas Priest and the Choirboy.

More crisps, less sweets. Just because you're living here doesn't mean you have to let yourself go.

I always assumed you were a pikey anyway.
A brogue? Sounds like a polite way of admitting that they don't understand you. Try speaking with a Spanish accent, they'll get it then.

Didn't anyone ever tell you, Mummy's always right?

I'm going to feed you some irony, even if it kills you.
