No, but this was as though his name was Father
Mother of family to son: "Susan's asked Father to go as carer. She don't need a carer but if she nominates one, Father can get an extra place you see."

Very subtle difference, but the fact that she omitted the word 'your' before Father made me piss myself.

And they said it in oo-arr voices.
How come Norfolk speak oo-arr, when they're miiiles away from Somerset and Devon and that?

It's a different kind of oo-arr
The Norfolk patois also does this irritating thing where every sentence ends in a slightly higher tone of voice than that which preceded it. Makes it very hard to tell when someone's actually asking a question

I can't stand the way they pronounce my first name though
Somehow they add an "E". And not the good kind of E. Makes me sound Dutch

It's the only one I could think of

Although he got it wrong at first. It's not much of a secret, several B3tans are FB friends with me.
