Just been reading a profile on John Prescott which I found on the BBC’s website, and I was delighted to find that he was born in Wales and isn’t, as I had thought, a Yorkshireman! That bit of news has saved us all a lot of embarrassment.

Born in Wales ? Well that explains it all then.
Not long before the Wales/sheep jokes appear.:hihi:

I can't believe that worked...

Now thats even more funny than

"french military victories" and weapons of mass destruction (http://www.currybet.net/cbet_archives/0294.php)

Oh great. We just start recovering from spawning Max Boyce and now John Prescott is gifted upon us.

Ah well... :)

It was on Top Gear ages ago that he pretends to be from Yorkshire but is infact from Wales. It was during a Clarkson rant. I've forgot which episode it was in and what the actual rant is about but I'm sure you'll catch it on one of the UK TV channels, they are on ALL the time.

Don’t watch top gear because I’m not that interested in cars. I only use one to get me from A to B (I believe he does the same, but at speed). Thanks for the info though.

Brilliant. Well worth £130K + perks out of our taxes.

Yeah because he drives at 180Mph in top gear he must do the same driving to work in a morning....... sigh.....

This revelation comes as no surprise to me. However, Prescott is not alone in his attempts at bogus self-presentation. I have noticed that Blair tends to stress his Scottish roots, and even attempts to approximate 'educated Edinburgh' speech-patterns when addressing Scottish audiences. He is wont to drop his aitches when addressing whelk-guzzling Cockneys, tries to sound terribly homely when in northern towns and cities, and speaks like a native when in Chalfont St Giles. Most amusingly, when in the north-east of England, where I believe he was actually bred, Blair contrives to approximate a middle-class version of the strange, sing-song,almost Swedish-sounding 'Geordie' accent. In the latter case, his impression management might be more convincing if he were to 'gan on a neet oot wi' the laads', which involves quaffing flaggons of ale until paralytic and then openly urinating in the Bigg Market.
