Since the BBC now accepts regional accents and having a party where we all took the p**s out of each other ( as only the Brits can do) it got me thinking about the importance of clear communication.

So what you are about to read is just for fun and a little bit of hommage to Mrs Doyle of Father Ted fame, Miss Babs in Acorn Antiques and Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous.

What if these 3 lovely ladies were given jobs in Air Traffic Control?
What time will you be landing?
……….
Okay. I’ll get da kettle on
………
Well, you’ll be needing a cuppa tea after all that foreign muck
………
India, you say? You been to India. Well there you are then. What do they know about tea?!
……..
Runaway? Just you and me?
……..
Oh, runway. Sure that’ll be a good place to land so it will.
……..
Oh don’t fret now. I’m just looking out da window. There’s plenty of space for you to land.
…….
Who’s that talking now?
…….
Oh so there’s two of you. I’ll just go and pop another tea bag in the pot, so I will.

Copy? Just a minute. Anyone know if there’s a photocopier round here? This guy on the phone…
…….
What? You’re not the phone? Well it would have to be one of them hands free things. You shouldn’t really be talking to me while yer driving…
…….
Oh okay. I’ll wait while you pull over…
…….
Now there’s no need to be rude, Roger!

Is it terribly hot up there?
…….
I mean your uniform must be feeling quite tight by now..
…….
How long?
……
Ooh I just love long haul..
……
So you have been up there for 12 hours without a break?
……
Your shoulders must be very tense?
…….
I’ve got some wonderful massage oils, all ready…
…….
Oh yes, I can see you now. You seem to be caught in a cross wind?
…….
Oh, gosh. I think you just overshot the runway, dahling…

Which one is your favourite?
This is brilliant, I say, modestly 😉
Love it. Next thing you have to do is record it, with appropriate accents, upload it to SoundCloud and link it to the blog.
