Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

I've got a nasty caseOf "accent sponge syndrome".
If I spend to long with someone with a particular accent, I start it pick it up.
I'm from Essex, but I'm just starting to shake the fancy Surrey accent that I had from three years of living there.
The downside to this is that I'm now living and working in Essex again.
Which is fackin' lavly.

yeah butthats them south & east essex estuary cunts you have to blame, there is none of that bollocks in the more refined middle and north Essex.
Apparently I have quite a posh and intruiging accent (polled from 5 different people, who might have been drunk at the time of asking) but can slip accidentally into broad Essex (imagine a more gutteral Norfolk accent) every now and then.
