Of course, in the north we look down on the wimps who think Queen's English is
correct. <tongue-in-cheek> Queen's English is only about 30% genuine,
historic, old English. The further north you get, nearer to the border, the
better. Geordie dialect (Newcastle area) is believed to have the most
authentic with better than 80% historically correct :-)
