Bugger !

I was about to say that, in my opinion, one of the nicest accents is heard from a Welsh woman.
(There are reservations to this by the way !).

I have a weakness for the accents of women of the Celtic regions, they must be from the rural districts though !

Pinky, me old Donkey Walloper, you fail to declare your region or age, I can't remember where your regt recruited from.

Enlighten us, Sir !

I've got to say, John that the sections of our society that have evolved into using words like "innit" have me groping for my shotgun.

Ah yes.

Well, my last regt (RA) recruited from the Manchester area.

If I could afford the move, Canada is the place I would choose.

South Cheshire's not bad though.

You wan't to listen to those Aussies on the TV show 'Anything to Declare'. Every sentence sounds like they wan't reassurance by raising the voice at the end. Gets on my nerves.

Now I've always considered her to be quite fanciable, then she started talking.

That's the mob mate. Used to call themselves "The Manchester Gunners" but the idea was wearing a bit thin.

A Lancashire battlegroup! Yep, I can see how they would've caused trouble-in the Sinbin no doubt.

We went with the Irish Hussars for ours, late 70s. All well behaved I have to say.

Can you remember what guns 2 Fd were using Pinky ?

I think they were on Abbots.......

Brum,

Here's a better picture of your gal

Much better !

She can have my body, if she plays her cards right.

I'll just have to figure a way to stop her talking.

HMMM . . !

Blimey !

We were there in '78, (I think), and they were running about in beaten up old Abbots then.

Still, as long as the gun's in good nick I suppose it doesn't matter.

Now you're going to tell me you were on Chiefys, aren't you ?

hi brum,
Chieftain from 1980-1983
Swingfire ATGW (438) 1983-1984
Chieftain 1984 - 1988
Challenger 1 1988 - 1998

That just about sums it up.

Use duck tape brum

It sounds like BATUS are just running old relics into the gound.

I don't know about "advance to contact", it must be more like Wacky Races !

Eh oop me dooks, got right mardi about comments on Leicestershire accent (I was born in the county)

For me the worst accent is Estuary English, a poseurs version of Cockney and true Essex with a bit of Caribean and other Commonwealth country phrases thrown in, Know wot I mean?

There is a new accent that has recently emerged, it is a sort of Afro Caribbean patois but spoken by white yoofs - I believe is known as "Rude Boy". I speak it all the time, especially when collecting my Pension.
