General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

My husband is still broad Lancashire even after almost 30 years in Canada. I'm told mine has mellowed after all this time, and since I do office work and people have to understand me on the phone I do now speak more slowly and sound my aiches! My son, born here, likes to take the micky out of us - he's pretty good! But even here some of the American pronounciation makes me cringe! Special peeve for me is "Labratory" instead of "Laboratory" !!!!! And there's a new hair product called "Tousle" which the actress doing the ad pronounces "Towsel" instead of "Tussel". Infuriating
