Everyone on CB in the Cardiff and Swansea areas talks like that.

Except that in the Cardiff area, they don't have "handles" ... they
have "angles". As in, "The angle by yer would be Smokey Joe, and the
personal would be Dai".

I used to live in Swansea many moons ago, Ammanford to be exact, a few miles
west of Cardiff i know but still in the general area. Theres some CB type
talk obviously like whats yer 20 is it.... or give me a roger boyo but the
way some people come out on here with their parrot CB lingo its obvious they
are just taking the mick. As far as angle goes maybe they want a 90
degree'ing :o)

This probably originates from someone, in the dim and distant past,
having misheard the word "handle" as "angle" (not difficult,
considering the way Cardiff people speak) ... and the error has been
perpetuated.

The Cmd of buttholes sure hasn't made any "DYNO-MITE" pronouncements on
the internet, has he?

Not difficult to deduce that you are a CB-er.

Why is that then.. is it because he has friends, his house isn't full of
bits of old crap and he doesnt stink of wee and biscuits??

biscuits?

closest I have ever heard to such is the guy who clearly has a his rig
out of tune and you can't tell what he is saying, but they are the
occasional exception
