I said come from not come on.

You bring back bad memories of times past. I'm allergic to golf, I blame my hayfever on it.

I've only been away for a couple of years but you do notice it more when you come back. Nowhere near as bad as some regions, but it's not great!

 

Also, I had absolutely no idea that saying 'straight the way' was incorrect until my fiancee pointed it out a while back. I then went and Googled it and the top link was 'are you from Leicester?'. My teachers have a lot to answer for. 

This is true. When I was back over Xmas I realised most people I know have a thick Lestah accent. I never realised how annoying the accent is. Especially when two middle aged women and talking to each other "Aaaaawwwwwww reaaaaaaaaaalleh" "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".

 

I think I have been saying "straight the way" as well. I feel betrayed.

And only a week back in Leicester reverts you to it.

It’s funny how your accent can change at all though. I spent a few years travelling with two Rhodesians and ended up speaking just like them, yet I lost it pretty much straight away afterwards.

Are you sure it wasn't straight the way? ?

I love the Leicester accent.

 

Ive probably mentioned it before, but obviously 40+ years away means you lose it very clearly. However, The first time i went home (1990's) when i returned to Oz, they assumed i was on holidays to Oz as i had picked it up again.

 

But, when i returned in 2010-2012 i really noticed my aussie accent especially when standing singing in the Kop ...when the song was... "Get in to em..F**k em up".

 

The aussie accent on "F**K" and "Up"... is verrrry apparent.

 

 also ordering a coop of tea at the caravan at the match at Kettering, the poor old tea lady had me repeat it three times
