Answer #10

Answer #11

yep, it depends where you are going, drive 2 hours here and they almost talk a completely different language… lol… if you are going to London then; Apples and Pears = stairs Jam Jar = car Mutton and jeff = Deaf Britney Spears = ears etc etc.. Soooo… if you were to ask someone a question and they didnt hear you they might say ‘sorry love can you say that again cos I am a bit mutton in my britneys… LOL. People will always call females ‘love’ or even ‘duck’ can u believe it.. Just dont take offence and ‘keep your pecker up’ :P
