Ooooh... neither am I, I live right on the border with Hampshire (literally, I'm in a village that straddles the surrey-hants border - you won't believe the arguments I've had with some of the neighbours about which county we actually belong in...8-)), so I'm almost a non-home-counties guy

Technically, I'm British in the sense that the Canadian census defines it: English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh all mushed together.

In that sense, I'm british too, because my grandparents came from there, except on grandfather, who was native Canadian

Heh, no. They're a similar sort of thing to Eccles Cakes (though flatter).

I'm not posh :wink:

If it helps Lexy I must say I've never thought of you as being posh.

I hate that problem. But I failed at growing up in Kent.....

So glad I could be of service.
