I think I can state with some confidence that the influence of things medical (and things African) is about equally evident in our respective idiolects.

Hi

I do not like labels that much, but sometimes have fun with seeing how I view things at a given moment.

So right now I consider myself to be an English speaker + born in a one cow village + working class upbringing + middle class educational & personal development + moved around a lot in England + relatively settled in a village city + crucially means it is hard to pin point my accent (birthplace).

Thanks, Stew. Nice to get beyond the labels, innit?
