The Joy of Small Things: 'A not-so-small joy in itself.' Nigella Lawson | 
If ever there was a niche post! I don‘t think I have ever felt so seen in actual published words. I have spent the last 10 plus years feeling like I have to justify where I came from, ‘cos someone thinks I didn‘t sound like it. Lot of ‘I am actually, yes I know it doesn‘t sound like it‘ etc etc (until I have a drink, am tired, or spend a weekend with the family!) all jokes aside though ⬇️
Itchyfeetreader I suspect this is my tiny first wold insight into what confounding small minded expectations feels like. (edited) 5mo
Velvetfur Omg I feel seen now too! I lived in London for 12 years, lived in various places before that, so don't have that much of an accent, but like you out comes out when I'm angry, haha! 5mo
Velvetfur Sorry I don't mean like when you're angry, I know that's not what you said in your post! I mean it comes out in certain situations, sorry I worded it wrong! 5mo
Itchyfeetreader @Velvetfur no need to apologise! Sounds like we had the same experience ‘but are you though?‘. I‘ll never forget esp the first time. It was a friend of a friend. telling me ‘it was okay I didn‘t sound like I was from Liverpool‘ 5mo
Velvetfur @Itchyfeetreader oof! The cheek! On the flip side though, while I lived in London I had several times where I'd say I'm from Liverpool and the person I was talking to would say that they'd been there and absolutely loved it! Which always made me proud, hehe 😁 5mo
