before I could post there……
Accents are fantastic, i love them. But then I am black, gay and from Telford.
*snogs rubes face off*
Could have been worse, you might have been born a brummie lol :lol:
oh no and here was me thinking you were a yorkshire lass :) I actually love accents too, though i tend to mimic them after a few minutes. Whilst working in a Hotel In London many years ago i picked up a german accent ! As the fascist boss had an agent in germany.. So it was all school kids of 17/18… The actress Joanne whalley has it too ( not the german boys,, the mimic thing). can be a bit ofa pain at times as sometimes folks think im taking the micky.. as IF i would do that ;)
Tomorrow I am in full Newport Pagnell accent mode !
I have my holidays at the service station in Newport Pagnall. I love a crusty bap with lashings of ginger beer.
*sighs wistfully at the memory*

oh dear it did get a bit out of hand, funny isnt it you can get 3 people read the written word and each of them will interpret it differently, i personally as there seems to have been a bit of animosity against sunny think it a shame you dont know the real sunny she rocks!! lol
im freinds with a lot of you and happen to think most of you are nice folk lol, oh well i suppose it livened things up ay if nothing else lol :wink: 8)
And just for the record I never requested the thread to be locked nor did I complain to Admin. :roll:
Yeah – We beleive ya. :wink:
Interestingly, in a discussion with a jobcentre manager, I asked him what the status of a benefit claimant is while attending one of these mandatory courses IE: student, unemployed. . . . When attending one of these courses, claimants are given what is known as a “training allowance”, a small top up to assist attending costs etc. 8)
I asked the manager if the claimant becomes a student when attending.No ! he said to me. No said I! Are they still benefit claimants I then asked, he told me that they are still benefit claimants but on a training scheme. Ah, so they are students then, I said , thinking that any person on a training course is a student. No he said, they are still claimants. :shock:
Then perhaps you can explain to me why a P45 is received by claimants on attendance I asked. You could have heard a pin drop, in fact I think I even heard the blood rushing to his head. :oops: :D
It would appear that there is no known description for a benefit claimant attending one of these mandatory courses in our language. They are effectively in limbo. Not a student despite training, not a benefit claimant despite being out of work, not even an employee if sent on a “work experience” session with a company.
Now why do you suppose that is? :?PS ~ even in all the LOVELY accents in this country, :lol: I cannot find a description for this status. Perhaps one of our recent invaders can enlighten us here. :lol: 8)
