Special HBP showings

I signed up for an alert when the HBP tickets go on sale at a specific cinema in Cambridge.

Today I got the email - never mind that I have my tickets already - I am going to the first showing in Huntingdon.

Something in that email caught my attention: this cinema offers showings for over-18-year-olds only. Interesting.

AND I just saw the HBP trailer on TV for the first time. Looks already much better than on the laptop.

I'm really getting excited...

Soft, we're neighbours...

Uh huh.

Right.

When I moved, I had to close our account with ScottishGas. The girl in the contact centre sounded REALLY Scottish. Not 'look I am so funny I am Scottish but still you can understand me TV personality Scottish', but Highland Scottish.

I didn't have a clue what she was saying. And it appears she couldn't understand me, either. After a lot of 'pardons' I said:

"I am sorry, I used to live in America, I have a funny accent."

Instead of something like "Ah, you know, I have a Scottish accent, must be difficult for you, too." Or anything equally polite, she just said:

"Yes."

Well. There you go.

What American accent do you have?

New York City. You are most definitely from New York City. Not New Jersey, not Connecticut. If you are from Jersey then you can probably get into New York City in 10 minutes or less.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same   Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different...   Different

And to think that the amount of time I spent in NYC in my entire life so far sums up to a total of 4 or 5 days ...

I think it just came out that way because it only tests for American accents. Mine has toned down considerably. I am getting into all these nasal tones lately.
