Banjo Johnny, Yorkshire is the place. I'm desperately hoping that I'll remember the name of the village before I post this, but if I don't there are lots of people who will tell us. The village really exists and is a big tourist attraction these days.

"Summat" is actually "somewhat" - perfectly respectable but rather old-fashioned English word - with the "w" dropped. This is perfectly respectable too, as is "Norwich" (pr. "Norrich", if you didn't know), but for some reason many teachers are ignorant of this, and will insist on pulling you up for it. For years and years It was drummed into me at school that my accent was not the correct way to speak, and then I found that it was perfect for reading Chaucer with the correct pronunciation. It makes me laugh too, to hear scholarly people with "correct" speaking habits reading Shakespeare in the way Will would have spoken himself - you can go to Stratford today and find "common" people who still speak like that!
Steve ... not at all bitter!
