Spent my teen years in Cheshire and didn't meet a guttural R. Possum, who is bi-lingual, can do it in French but not in English and has been like that ever since, aged nearly 3 and attending maternelle in the village, she realised she had to speak different ways to different people. Before that she mixed it up using whichever word was best.
Her poor dad couldn't keep up and nor, obviously, could her classmates and teacher. I feel the same when speaking to older people here who throw in Walloon words and expressions.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Great news DD, I hope everything works out for you and Charlie and that you have a happier new life. The tea shop sounds like a great idea and I've struggled to find a name. The best I could come up with is The Tea Bouche. (The with an accent).
