After years of being corrected as a child and told to say my Mother and I. It still grates when TV presenters say "and me" I know this is supposed to be correct now but it doesn't sound right. I don't remember hearing the Queen saying " my husband and me" and it is supposed to be the Queens English

Dear JohnP,
The Queen talks like wot she does to distance herself from the Rabble. People from a certain class do the same, eg. Mr Cameron, and those that are highly inter-bred, even more so.
Take comfort from being one of the Rabble. No-one in their right mind would want to be like the aristocracy...

In 1984 I moved from the North East of England to Orpington in Kent to manage a newsagents. I think it was nearly a year before my accent changed a little and the customers ears became attuned. Sometimes I wondered if I was speaking English....

This girl in the supermarket was talking very loudly into the mobile glued to her ear. "Excuse me," I said. "The whole store doesn't want to hear your conversation." "Chill out man," she replied. "I is jus' rappin' wiv me bro innit?" I felt really guilty. If I'd known she had learning difficulties I wouldn't have mentioned it.
