I've got dead short hair and sometimes dress a lttle oddly and so far I am a drug-pushing, lesbian-transexual!
Which is a little more exciting than the truth as I am probably the least interesting person in the village. Lol

I live in N.I and have a London(ish) accent, nobody has ever mistaken me for a Pearly Queen .

Actually hedgehog is a traditional traveler's feast, so perhaps OP how best to cook and kill them?

Hedgehogs are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act(1981), it is illegal to trap or kill them - I hope this was pointed out to you on your previous thread.

When DH left N Ireland to go to Uni, he says everyone assumed he was a terrorist. He worked hard to drop his accent ASAP These days only people from Ulster can tell he's also from Ulster.

How does it go then?

Here is a bit on traveller's cant language moondog link

Most of the travellers I have spoken with speak very quickly and there is heavy use of cant.
Cant has mingled it's way into the northern Scottish language and can be heard used frequently in conversation aroung Dingwall, Alness etc due to some of the travellers settling a long time ago and intgrating into the community.

I'm a Jew. But everyone's being tight these credit crunch days so luckily I don't get mistaken for one.
