You know how to spot a redneck? No curtains in the windows of his house, but has them in the windows of his camper.

Help me Thaiworthy! What's the difference between redneck and trailer trash? And who are those folks born on the wrong side of the tracks? How come a redneck can afford both a house and a camper? And how come if he can afford both he's got a redneck? So many questions and so much time . . .

 

Fountainhall's voice had come in for some comment recently so it'd be great if he rose to Thaiworthy's challenge. ;)

 

As for myself, rumours my dears, all rumours.

Hehe, I love it. Now I want to hear Fountainhall sing the Redneck Pride Song. :lol:

I'm game for a challenge, but, dang me, hot diggedy dawg, I have absolutely no ideah what it is all ya folks be tawkin' about, and that's the truth of the mattah!

Let's face it, it's not only Americans who complain about English accents. Alan Jay Lerner sums it up nicely in his wonderful lyrics for this number from My Fair Lady - although his reference to "the Scotch" (being a drink) instead of "the Scots" betrays his American heritage! :o

Then, for those posters who always seem have difficulty with their punctuation, there's always this lesson from Victor Borge for Dean Martin -
