Oh no, we were in a little pocket of Surbiton-en-France
it was entertaining. And they made me feel very common by declaring I was very obviously Northern. I'm only SLIGHTLY obviously Northern.

My French accent always was horrific, as I could never be bothered. It picked up for my GCSEs (I did my presentation involving the ocular state of the frontman of Sigur Ros and his guitar playing techniques, among other things) but was still shoddy. Still got me an A* though. Lol.

I overheard an american woman asking a waiter at a cafe
if they had a "MACK-A-ROOOOOON! DO YOU HAVE A MACK-A-ROOOOOOON?" and obviously he had no idea what she was blathering on about so he just stared blankly at her.

Of course, you'd eaten them all.

You are probably one of the least Northern-sounding Northerners I know
So I guess you must have been somewhere round Provence? Or the Dordogne? Actually, I don't know where they flock these days...
