Batty.
We were sitting down, I reading and Lizzy watching 'Strictly'. "What was that?" I followed the UFO upstairs and eventually cornered it in the study. Lizzy passed me a light bed sheet and we managed to catch this:

well I ask because you inevitably build a mental picture of people
and I find accents interesting (my parents sent me to elocution lessons !!!!!)
and as I said my wife was decidedly ambivalent to my voice/accent
also it is important - you form opinions of people based on accents
I.e people with a brummy accent sound a bit thick!!

It's not uncommon to have bats come inside our houses this end, and hang upside down on our ceilings. I've been freaked out many a times by them, but I have a special stick that I gently hit them with, and let them do one, via my window.
Makes me think that we must be living in hell.

By the way, you guys need to see the Indian bats. They are humongous and so damn haunting looking things that you would freak out with the sight of a single one! Mister was fascinated by them, though. He used to drag me in the middle of the night to the trees near the old palaces; just to look at them and take pictures of them. I used to freak out and found it a bit crazy.
Bat spotting, eh.

I was born and raised in north Plymouth, on the edge of Dartmoor. My maternal grandfather was Cornish (ancestry going back 700 years), maternal grandmother Devonian, and my paternal grandparents were very poor, lower working class Plymothians. I had a broad Plymouthian accent as a youngster, this was slightly eroded when I went to an all boys school and then eroded more during further education. I became an estate agent in my early twenties and developed a faux posh accent, but it's been as it is now for the last 15 years or so, despite spending 10 of those in South Wales.

Small world, I was born/raised in Plymouth until I was 3. Then every subsequent half term spent in the area until I was 18 has meant I've never shaken the accent. Though that being said working with several northerners has meant I've picked up some of their colloquialisms, makes for some strange conversations.
