Chard Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 It depends where you are in the country. It's like Browning. If you're from Essex, it's Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarnin' innit. If you're Prince Charles, it's Brining, as in "Let's have a rind of gowlf, chaps" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
