Hehe, I was brought up in London, spent a few years in Brixton & moved to Kent once the damage was done... it took my Mum years to stop me saying 'aks'... even now, when I'm 'on one' according to the girls, I still say it!

It's just one of those childhood legacies I guess - and on the subject of West Indian culture.. it's Notting Hill carnival this weekend, & we can't go because Andy has 2 telephone interviews on Monday.......
