remember, "working class" english gentlemen, arent exactly gentleman most of the time... lingo would include the use of the word "c**t" frequently 😛www.londonslang.com should help with that aswell
i cant help with much more, not lived in London for years now, and altho i go there alot i couldnt tell u details
thanks DF...this'll be great for one or two characters...probably two...but there is one who has money, of higher breeding...what manner of speech would they utilize?

Somehow, i think Zero can help you there.
What? I have neither thanks... ok I work for enough money to keep me happy but breeding? Cheese! Apart from the fact that I loathe the very concept of "breeding" and privilege through blood - I'm from the poorest background you could ever ever imagine.
Im almost offended. Why would you say that about me? do I come over as well bred and monied. Cheese....
as Zero said, north of the river is generally more higher class... and would speak in the more classic veiwing of the English gentleman. not overly posh but far from being a south-london cockney! (like me 🙁)
just read thru the website i gave u, especially the slang in films bit...gives u an insight into the more commonly used phrases...rather than trying to cram as much into ur script as possible, even tho its used alot... they wouldnt use slang all the time!
save em, use em specially and sparingly...bob's yer uncle u got urself a right cockney geezer

I do apologize, ment no offence. I was simply refering to your maner of speach.
Lil-I concur with the lips...there is however a matter that concerns you though...one of the female antatgonist is somewhat, just a little, based on you...(please don't hate me)
And to Mr. Zero...there is also a character that reminds me of you too to a degree however small it may seem...and i will do that(email) have to gather notes with my friend.
I've also based the female protagonist on Sil...hehehe

I can tell you right now, im not at all full of myself, but I still feel honoured that theres someone based on me - even if its vaguely.
let's just say: she's very beautiful and knows it...she uses that as a means to get what she wants without really doing anything else to get what she wants.
all men desire her, yet she desires no one other than her need to feel financially secure...by way of someone with money
she's petty and only thinks of herself...she' incapable of love unless it comes with a manor in the country and a fur coat...
the script is based on a book my friend read(which one he hasn't said) but the description of this character reminded me of you...for some reason...so that is how we're going to write it.

That sounds excellent, by the way.
I dont think im particualry good looking, let alone beautiful, but that sounds very interesting. I guess its great the way she gets everything she likes, however I have no patience for women who cry at the drop of a hat, nor for the men who fall for it.
Do let us know how it goes and such.

not particularly good looking? not beautiful? humility becomes you fair lady...but i must disagree and no I'm not blind nor are my eyes fogged with insanity...what an absolutely wondrous creature you are...
were there no ocean so great between us, undoubtably with a 100 percent certainty would you find yourself stalked...and i say that genuinely...
of that you can be sure....the 'letting you know how it goes' that is... 😛
