CHAMONIX: We were singing out once with erm, with the school when we were in primary school and our teacher was like, she's dead posh, and she was saying to us "Don't talk like that, don't talk like yer from Liverpool," she said because we'll lose marks, it's like she was saying to us "Don't talk like that, talk well pronounced, and pronounce all your words, and talk like you're from somewhere else" and all that, she was saying to us so we'd win gold and all that. It's cos she just expects us to be posh just like that when we're not. MEGAN: It felt like she was ashamed of, of who we are and we should'nt be ashamed of like, what our accent is or somethin.
