I know a few proper Devon types
but loads of people have moved into the area, either grandparents, parents or (like me) themselves, so most of my mates have fairly neutral accents.

I only found out the other day though that saying "sweet" to mean good is a Devon thing. Correct me if that isn't the case.

I thought "sweet" was an Americanism, to be honest.

most of my mates say it and have been since way before Dude where's my car
