Further picky Brit comment. Tonks' "Wotcher" could be anywhere in 
London. The "East London" accent referred to probably means Cockney 
but "Sarf Lunnon" which uses a lot of Cockney phrases covers a much 
wider area. I lived for 45 years in SW London and still use "wotcher" 
myself, though as you will see in a mo, I am not a Londoner.

Geoff,
I am from Texas and I would love to use the word "wotcher" in RL.  Could
you help me find a good use??   You know how the southern accent works,
long drawn out vowels and "fix'en to" is another common word here.  I
had to learn these types of things when I moved here, I had great fun
giggling at the waiters and their southern drawl.  Thanks!!
 
Tonya (who is having too much fun using the language in RL, I know I
need to get a life but I have been able to use "Budge up there", "Nick"
(Sp??) and "Oy".  Of course I have had to explain the meanings of these
but way fun to increase the vocabulary!!)
