Drat - I was looking forward to some scathing remark about Georgies and you caught yourself.<br /><br />Yes, I'm a Geordie, as is my cuz Trish (above) but we're not all like the Geordie Shore charvers. Once you leave Tyneside, even if your teacher-mother allowed you to speak in the dialect, you'd have to start toning it down to be understood. After years in the south of England and 22 years here, I speak with what's probably a generic northern accent. And no, not like someone from Corrie either!Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-65747710802287602512012-02-15T17:50:53.306+00:002012-02-15T17:50:53.306+00:00oh crikey I mean Geordie not a Boy George Lookalik...oh crikey I mean Geordie not a Boy George LookalikeMommyHeadachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924035710478459520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-84085494791756427462012-02-15T17:50:24.357+00:002012-02-15T17:50:24.357+00:00By the way I wanted to ask: are you a Georgie - if...By the way I wanted to ask: are you a Georgie - if so isn't it impossible for yanks to understand you? or has this led to many hilarious exchanges?MommyHeadachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924035710478459520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-80386244217222062322012-02-15T17:46:35.642+00:002012-02-15T17:46:35.642+00:00Yeah I don't really care what I'm tweeting...Yeah I don't really care what I'm tweeting about but I do get a thrill if I hit the 140 character mark on the first try!

Yup, you are an anal tweeter (that sounds wrong, doesn't it).<br />I like London City Mum's idea but haven't any execs I could use this on. <br />I do get confused as to who to include in a thread especially if the conversation goes off on a tangent. There's always someone on the list who has gone off to make the tea: can I be the first to strike them off the thread?Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119443727504215312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-66700432998861995622012-02-14T15:19:49.190+00:002012-02-14T15:19:49.190+00:00If I'm not sounding like Sinead O'Connor o...If I'm not sounding like Sinead O'Connor on Twitter, then I'm doing okay.

I do have a Twitter account, but I never use it. I'm assuming it's technically possible therefore to have tweet buttons on my blog, but would that be very poor etiquette? As if I expect other people to tweet my posts, but wouldn't tweet anyone else's?Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-56160407101910901022012-02-12T23:17:18.734+00:002012-02-12T23:17:18.734+00:00I try to tweet with correct grammatical structures...I try to tweet with correct grammatical structures and spelling.
