[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Wotcher (was: Chapter Discussions: Chapter 3, the Advance Guard and I move it to Chatter )

Tonya asked:-

> Hey thanks, So would you call it slang or is it proper (?) to say
>wotcher??  What I am trying to say that Hey or Hi is considered 
slang and and Hello is "proper". 

 Ali said:
 Wotcher is slang. I used to use it all the time, instead of "Hi Ya" 
or "How's it going". I finally gave up using it after 3 years living 
in Manchester during which I had the mickey taken out of me too many 
times...
 
TOnya again:
OH yes I have used Mickey also in RL.  I didn't practice enough so it
was sort of choppy on the delivery but the nexxt time I am prepared!!
Love this!!
 
Tonya again:-

<<< Oh and does Jim Dale pronounce it properly??  >>>

 Ali said:
 Sorry, I can't tell you if Jim Dale pronounces it properly, I can 
only moan about the fact that Stephen Fry's "Tonks' voice" makes me 
cringe!
 
Tonya now:
I think I am going to ask for the Stephen Fry version for Chrstmas this
year!!  I bet they are cool.  I really like the Jim Dale reading, so I
am sure I will like Stephen Fry also!!  Of course I will make a note to
cringe at the Tonk's voice!!  Thanks!!  
Tonya
