      “I’ll be there now, in a minute” is also very common in Ireland.

      There are not many chipper, upbeat accents in Britain so I say “I’m not being funny, but like…” in a Welsh accent and that makes the distinction in my mind between Geordie, Welsh, a few other buoyant accents.

      Hence: the Rosetta Stone.
