After my son had finished speaking (in English) to a group of people at a conference in Holland the other day, he was approached by a man who asked him if he came from the North of England. The man said that my son's accent reminded him of his mother's who had been born in Blackburn. My son told him to look at his passport and the man couldn't believe that the place of birth was also Blackburn.
The only claim I have now to being English after all these years in Sicily, is my ( for me, lovely) Lancashire accent and I am super proud to have passed it on to my son.

(Blackburn because he was born at Queen's Park although he proudly tells everyone he was born in Ossie!!)
