Please call Stella.  Ask her to bring these things with her from the store:  Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob.  We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids.  She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.

Although I was born in Middlesbrough (north east), I went to university in Liverpool at age 19 then I worked in Coventry for a year and County Durham (north east) for 12 years. I have lived in south Cheshire (north west) for 18 years.

The result is that I have a distinctly northern accent (listen to the flat vowel sounds) but it is no longer a typical "Middlesbrough" accent.
