INTVEE's husband gets up at half past five and makes is tea and porridge and is quoted as saying "none of that coffee and toast stuff". When he is speaking to neighbours she tells him not to speak so Leith-y. She likes to blether but not at the coffee mornings which her neighbours have, she's not used to having time to herself to spend like that and she doesn't think she speaks posh enough.
