Wow, I'm feeling incredibly inept. I'm most definitely going to need to find a Brit beta, because the more I read this the more American my non-American characters are sounding.
I have to say, in reading, that I don't find the the writing jarring when the character is only thinking. However, the moment they ask for a 'cuppa' I balk. And I tend to write with that in mind. Thinking American, speaking otherwise. Which, now that I think on it, is even worse. *headdesk*
I'm looking forward to seeing the other post. Thanks as always. You are the Queen!
