Just in case there's any confusion:
I'm not. I'm so dreadfully English that my family shares a name with a pokey little village in the East Midlands. But for some reason I have had three people in recent years ask me whether I was Aussie, which...well, you've heard my accent, becky.

Damn
On the day of the fourth ODI I'd like an Aussie to mock. Not Poppet, she's lovely. No offence. I'm from the East Midlands, is your surname Gunthorpe?

Nope.

Grantham?
Help me out here

A bit further South
And - ironically enough - less English-sounding. (Quite a silly-sounding name, if that helps)

Dang
If it's further north than Grantham I probably don't know it, being from Nottingham. Based on your last post I shall hazard a guess that your surname is Ashby de la Zouch

Sorry, edited it after a look at Google maps, it's actually further South
Edit: Though Ashby-de-la-Zouche would be an awesome surname...

Let's just save ourselves some time here
Is it anywhere near Nottingham?

You might have more luck
if you try Leicestershire

Gah
Frankly, I won't lower myself to such levels. Yes I know Ashby is in Leicestershire, one of my best friends is from there. I shall simply assume your surname is "desperation"

You should still mock Poppet
ask her what she intends to contribute to the economy during these times of economic austerity.

Cafes and restaurants will always need waitresses.

You mean to say a high school graduation isn't enough these days?
Well OH EM GEE. What will she do?

she was only able to get a tourist visa
so I imagine she will be doing touristy things
