Got to say that MyrtleTurtle is a cracking forum name. I keep wanting to say it in a Cornish accent....been watching too much Poldark methinks!!

Why Cornish ? Hello and welcome myrtle.

No idea why Cornish, Suze!! I do a great broad Devonshire accent when I wind up the kids though. Always threatening to introduce myself to their friends/colleagues, etc that way. I'm a wicked woman!!
I just feel an inclination to say Myrtle Turtle like Prudie from Poldark.

Il also a bit wicked when it comes to accents, my mum and dad are from Bolton, which is a broad round Lancashire accent ( think Fed Dibner) so I grew up doing it rather well, much to everyone's amusement. I'm not good at a lot of things but, I'm very good at British regional accents. I have a wicked inclination to say a lot of things in a Cornish accent, and Birmingham, and Liverpool, no offence to people from these places, I think they are brilliant accents, I love our regional accents.
Wasn't Prudie marvellous last Sunday, " I'll batter im down slithery slathery lane" ��

Glad it's not just me!!
Prudie was brilliant on Sunday!!

I'd love to hear Aidan talk more often in his Irish accent though. I don't know if he's done much acting using his own accent.
