    This is bizzare, I've been dealing with a pain in my right achilles for a few weeks now.

    There's a knot on it (which has reduced in size now) and If I push it it's "feel a bit sick" time as far as pain goes, although I can ride and walk on it without much pain at all.

    Now I suffer (suffered) from gout* so I've got it down to that at the moment (I reduced my dosage of the tablets I take recently, back up again now though).

    *inability to process uric acid, causes glass like shards of crystalised piss in your joints and tendons

    People do talk like that - I just had it educated into me! The school I was at told me a west country accent was a 'hindrance'.

    Friends of mine from school almost all speak like me.

    I always thougt accent a matter of choice until your mid 20s.

    Well, debatable. If you really work at it you can change your accent later than that, but it takes more time and effort than when you're younger. Depends also on external influences.

    I had elocution lessons when I was about 7, which stuck with me, and have never felt the need to choose to change from my current accent. I don't think I sound that posh myself, but I'm told I do. And I'm 26 now, so apparently it's too late for me! :wink:

    some people's accent's change more than others my wee wife's changes really quite quickly, where as mine and my sisters seem to have locked on to my folks bbc accent and all but ignored the welsh valley's accents in the schools we went to.
