Having parents from Suffolk (and grandparents) means I've picked up all their odds sayings and expressions.

Cool..Well..I don't think I've picked up many words..I used to have a very strong Norfolk accent (I have birthday videos with me speaking on them so I can look back and see what I used to be like) but now I have this weird Australian-American thing going on..No idea why..Guess I watch a lot of American programs or something.
I know my nana still has a bit of a norfolk accent. And my great aunty too. Takes my great aunty about half a hour to say my name hehe (''saaaaaareee-ahhhh...'')..
