Oh but you don’t know me yet! I have a strong tendency to pick up on the accents that surround me, what with not really having my own… (I grew up as an english person in a small french town, adapting to my surroundings meant a lot :))
So I might arrive at TP with a quaint, the-queens-english british accent, but I’ll probably leave sounding like whoever I spent my time with…
Now maybe I’m mistaken in thinking Colorado has what can be called an accent… :lol
OH…one of them lizards that changes colors!

I love all of those things, except for 6, which I’ve never seen, and 7, which I’m not entirely sure what is. Does this make me a sterotypical brit? :lol
Yeah but knowing my luck the conversation will start like this:
"Youre from England ? I love England. I met someone from Liverpool last year, you know where the Beatles come from, his name was Dave, he had such a great accent. Do you know him ? Is Liverpool anywhere near you ? " (based on several true stories)
I think that it needs to be made mandatory by the ‘Powers that Be’ that all of the Brits coming to Telluride MUST take part in the Condo-Crawl!! That kind of international ambassadorship should become part of an annual TBF tradition!!
LOL … your ancestors took away our freedoms and rights and drove us to come to this country … good to see the tradition continues! LOLOL (Just kidding, Mate! … and … as long as its not an appliance or high-dollar item, I wouldn’t mind ). Better yet, I’ll bring along some souvenirs to hand out to y’all ).
