“Howdy. I’m Elizabeth. Come closer, closer. I’m a bit more fun that most papers think. I watch the telly and am particularly fond of ‘Who, Doctor?’ On weekends I kick around a soccer ball on the pitch. And yes, I’m quite aware that sometimes I speak like an American who has picked up little bits of British English here and there and tries to insert said phrases into what I think might pass for vernacular, you know what I’m saying? Most of the time it works, but that’s because of my accent, which is terrific, just like that time Kevin Costner played Robin Hood, which was tops! Shall we dine, commoner?”
