  1. * For a long time I spoke with two accents: a proper Essex-cum-East End twang at school and the office, and the Queen’s English at home. I was bilingual, in a way.*

    That’s *almost* partridge in itself. Good article, though I can’t agree with his viewpoint about not driving until you’re 25…

  2. I doubt he does, not as long as he keeps getting work and as long as people seem to listen to what he says. He is basically set for life and somehow still manages to influence people by be the living embodiment of a caricature. Why would he care about that being a bad thing?

  3. Steve Coogan will be nicking some of this for himself.

    > I rarely prepare questions, and think: “What would I ask if we’d just met on a train?”

    Keeping it natural.

    > It’s perfectly possible everyone on this planet is a martian.

    O…k

    > Nobody was hurt, but I could’ve easily killed the two of us and others.

    Weird humblebrag vibes?

    > We channelled Simon & Garfunkel – unsuccessfully.
