I can command the English language quite well for a Bristolian.
But I have a friend whom I actually cannot understand what he's saying.

And I swear that thing about changing words ending with "a" to ending with "awl" (e.g. "America" - "Americawl") is bollocks, I've never heard anyone say "Americawl" or "Cinemawl" or "Camerawl"

"Half Price Tunal"
I always used to spell "fast" as "farst", "bath" as "barth" etc.
That was funny :]
That was when I was about 5 or 6 years old though :P
