Doing a voice, or have to actively try not to.

For example, a mate did some volunteering in a zoo yesterday and mentioned he had met an Armadillo.

I cant say Armadillo without doing the voice from the old Dime Bar advert with Harry Enfield, i.e. "Crunchy on the outside etc"

See also "Garlic, Bread", thanks to Peter Kay for that one.

In our house we cant say Coriander without affecting a strong East Manchester advert "Corriandorr" as a colleague had an aversion to said herb and that accent, as in "I fkin hate Coraindorr"

Sure there are others,

Every time we pass a sign for Chudleigh in Devon one of us says it in a Brummie accent.

I can’t tell people what that is without it sounding like I said something else entirely.

For some reason whenever we pass the sign for Kirkby Lonsdale, I have to say it in a broader Yorkshire accent as possible, even though it’s in Cumbria!

If I see a Frankie and Benny’s, an Italian mobster.

We regularly also used to drive past Penistone……

I'm a keen cycling fan and each time I hear the name of Roman Bardet I sing:

"Ey ey ba day ba wadladie day!" (from On a Ragga Tip)

Well I think it's funny. Actually I don't even think it's funny any more - I just cant stop.
