    That's not the type of knacker I meant.

    If you're from Dublin you sound like a knacker whether drunk or sober.

    I object to the use of the term 'knacker'.

    Itinerant is the proper 'dictionary' term.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    My accent reverts towards the northwest the more drunk or tired I am; suggesting that my generic neutral accent (repeatedly told it sounds like Galway City, where I've never lived) is somehow subconsciously put on.

    ?

    There are types of knacker other than the ones that remove carcasses?
    Are they regional?

    I turn into a Love/Hate character. It's great. I don't know whether real knackers can detect it or not. I imagine they'd be too afraid to call my bluff, just incase I'm a real knacker and end up glassing them in the throat.

    I can't understand this.

    Knacker = Traveller, there's no two ways about it. You can't call someone a Knacker and say 'oh I meant the scumbag variant'

    What do you think you sound like when you are not drunk?

    Colin Farrell when he's not drunk and putting a fake accent.

    I'm lost.

    Which one is his 'fake' accent? In 1998 he sounded the same as his ballykissangel character, he doesn't now after speech classes.

    I always think of knacker as just meaning scumbag before I think of traveller

    I think only knackers think it means traveller primarily. Let's not tell them.

    His fake accent is the one when he was riding Britney Spears.
