it is funny when u read a fanfic writtern by someone who isn't english or doesn't know to much about the different british accents.
cos they make Balthier say things like "Mate" and "Love" (in the manner of adressing someone) and things like "oi" which are usually considered cockney and terms used in london and totally not posh. lol. its not like they could know that but it still amuses me.
it would be like
Balthier: Oi love! jack up them glossiar rings will ya!?
Fran: awwwight guvnor! hold ya horses
just doesn't work really does it lol
