Take a deep breath now
You can breathe the AIR
Let the breeze blow gently through your HAIR
Don’t hide away come out of your LAIR

AIR HAIR LAIR
Wow that sounds posh!
And hello to you too 😉

On arrival at University, my Yorkshire accent was quite broad and I sometimes had to adapt it a bit to be even understood. Never to this extreme 😂.
I like different accents. They’re easy to pick up again ‘tha nos’. 😉
