12. When did they not?

My Mum has been telling me all of the horror stories about the state since she first went down there on a free-lance job. Shocked her knickers off when the first thing people asked her wasn't, 'what do you do (for a living)?' or 'what do you enjoy?' but 'what torture cult center do you go to?'

Unlike me, Mum is a christian (High Church CofE, at that), but she was appalled that a complete stranger considered such a matter any of their business. The person who asked it hated her ever after for responding with, 'I don't see how that's any of your concern.' I'm absolutely certain she also turned on this ice-cold House of Windsor-worthy accent she used whenever she is not amused, and don't even try tosh like that again. I can attest to how the Windsor accent was when she was at her scariest and most forbidding. It was time to beat a hasty retreat, because what came in the wake of it would not be pleasant.

Gives me the shivers, still, just thinking about that accent she can slip into in a heartbeat.
