    I see my sublimenal message has been revealed

    Pssy, I used to sit on the bus in kindergarten and try to figure out what the difference was between the word "free" and the number "three". So it's not just cockney.

    Maw and ma are pronounced the same! Do I have to record my dad and uncles?:OOOOOOO
