I agree completely.  There is also something quintessentially 
metropolitan about the whole impression she gives.

Admittedly, her clumsiness means that she is virtually *destined* to 
find true happiness with an Aga and a dashingly handsome yet brooding 
TV chef in a thatched cottage with roses climbing up the half-
timbering, but her origins are a million miles from pit, mill, or 
sheep farm.

Without the "wotcher" she *could* just be Glaswegian, I suppose.
