British English speakers of RMN, I need your help! How do I write a 'British' speaking character?

I'm a foreigner living in England and it's easy to notice their language mannerisms.
English people use the following words and phrases a lot :

-Quite
-I suppose
-For God's Sakes
-Indeed
-At the end of the day
-mate (yes, it's a modern day thing)
-Rubbish! (when someone is bullshiting)
-Bollocks
-Piss off
-Actually
-Calling people 'darling' and 'sweetie'
-Supper and tea are words for 'dinner'
-Oh, Bugger! (Same as goddammit)
-I'm going to fix some food
-saying you're going to get things 'sorted' (I have to sort that out)
-They say 'brilliant!' and 'Fantastic!' as a response to almost everything
(e.g Jonny: I sorted out my schedule, we can meet up tomorrow
Mary:Oh, Brilliant!)
-A little bit, or 'a bit of' (Fancy a bit of footbal?) ("She's a bit of a mess isnt she)
- Instead of saying "do you want to...." they often say "Do you fancy..."
- Shite instead of shit


If you wanna pick up a lot of typical british words and mannerisms, I suggest you try the series called 'This is England', it's a very accurate account of british language and the population in the 80's and 90's (a lot still valid to this day). It's also an amazing show.
Also you could watch 'Hollyoaks' it's a piece of shit soap opera, but you can pick up a lot of different phrases with that show.

I also agree with the person who suggested going on the forum studentroom. Great idea.

[RMVX ACE] Translating games from Japanese

Hi
I downloaded RPG Maker VX Ace to start making my own games (or just have fun with it), I also wanted to look into translating lesser known Japanese games to English. I don't know how to get started though, someone said I need to put the game into the engine and it's ready to go ''duh'', which was very unhelpful.
Any help would be really appreciated, I have looked for tutorials but nothing comes up.
Thank you

Pocket Mirror Classic (2016)

This looks very interesting! Cannot wait. Where are the team behind it from? I'm wondering because you need to be fluent in portuguese to be a tester :3
