yeah..sorry, I was just having fun..actually, the words that get used can be more defining..not to start a row, I fear, but it's just my 2p..I'm just being cruel to be kind..but to be honest, I'd agree with the above that there's easier ways to convey the charactarization (as an apologia to our friends across the water, it seems that yanks tend to reach for the hackneyed cockney, minus the rhyming slang, and get their knickers in a twist..;)
