So who is Sandy

[IceAgeCivilizations]

Hillbillies say that in the U.S.

Or a feltcher

Thanks Nick. I saw very few pictures and lots of comments. It would take too long to search the whole thread for certain pics.

Hillbillies say that in the U.S.

Another example of America-centrism?

Or a feltcher

Only if he were English...

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

Uh, I don't think the Brits are the offspring of American hillbillies Oli, do you think so?

 

[Oli]

You're the one that made the connection. Do Englishmen talk like hillbillies? Other than the pronunciation/ use of the odd word?
And it would surely be more likely the other way round, wouldn't it?

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

No, I like your idea, the Brits are the progeny of American Hillbillies.

 

[Nickelodeon]

God created Brits, Satan created hillbillies.

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

And yes, much of the Hill Talk does have British sounding elements, I think you're on to something Oli.

 

[sandy]

I think the hillbillies have better teeth.

Checkout some Beverly Hillbillies re-runs, many British sounds in that dialogue.

Granny looks British to me:

Funny there are no pictures of her smiling. Her teeth were brown and crookeduke:

I see your reasoning skills are up to scratch IAC.

This from someone whose countrymen regularly mistake strine for cockney and vice-versa.

Can you show us a current pic of you smiling Oily? I bet it would look like this:

I don't have any current pictures of me. Why would I?
And I don't smile for photos.

 

[Nickelodeon]

Just watch Crimewatch. He regulary appears on there.

 

[sandy]

Most UK guys don't smile. For pictures or anything else.

That would be "in your experience"? Why am I not surprised. I assume that you have data on that?

 

[Nickelodeon]

Smiling wastes energy. Going around smililing like a moron is simply a waste of time. Hence we dont smile.

 

[sandy]

I'm guessing they finally figured their disgusting teeth nauseate most people?

 

[sandy]

Smiling is good:
