Encyclopedia > Mummerset

Mummerset is an invented English language dialect used by actors that mimics the stereotypical speech of rural Southern England, while not being specific to one area. The name is a play on words: the combination of 'mummer', a slang term for a folk actor, and the name of the largely rural county of Somerset.

Whereas Jesse does, because Jesse is speaking in a Mummerset accent.
"Mummerset" is not a nasty metropolitan word to describe West Country accents.

The UNIT Files: Mike Yates (292 words)
Yates served as second in command of UNIT UK until his involvement in the Operation Golden Age Scandal, after which he was given the option of retiring quietly from UNIT, which he took.
Yates was later involved in The Mummerset Monastery Affair and was also recalled as an undercover UNIT agent during the Black Star Era.
Interestingly, sources from among former Black Star activists suggest that Yates was very attracted to their cause of anarchy, which raises severe questions as to how UNIT picked their senior officers.
