You're absolutely hilarious...and yes I am Trinidadian. My remaining family in Trinidad now reside in Valsayn. We're originally from San Juan, or Sawa (not sure how that sounds british to you). It, like the dilect from which it is usually spoken has no resemblance to the british proper english, so really, don't kid yourself. It's funny to me that Trinidadians perceive the british accent to be a measure of class (that's why so many Trinis fake it I assume). That excuse about it being a british colony would have worked 50 years ago, but alas mother England left the country to it's own devices and it's OWN culture and dialect continued to flourish; independant of the initial influence. Jamaica has much the same story, and an accent (they don't hide) that reflects it.
To someone who didn't know better, your weak excuses might have meant something. That being said, I've got to tell you, those people who ask if your accent is british...are obviously trying to say in a kind way, "admit it you're not from England and you're not fooling anyone"...clue in already. I am so embarassed by people like you, you make Trinis seem like they don't have a culture of their own to be proud of.
Persist in negating my heritage if it entertains you, truly some exchange should be in order given the tremendous "entertainment" value I am getting out of Miss Trinidad's atrocious helium filled appendages that Trini77 seems to be so proud of. She's pageant pretty, but the height, the boobs, strike one, strike two...I'm just waiting for the stripper heels.
Well really, "Ent yeh know ah don come teh macko an spread talk so ol yeh let be nah" oooops there goes my british accent again :)
