Of course, in the north we look down on the wimps who think Queen's English is 
correct.  <tongue-in-cheek>  Queen's English is only about 30% genuine, 
historic, old English.  The further north you get, nearer to the border, the 
better.  Geordie dialect (Newcastle area) is believed to have the most 
authentic with better than 80% historically correct :-)
