I've been trying to convey, through her dialog, that Our Miss Perriwinkle hails from England, but I'm afraid I didn't do such a good job of it...I know how she sounds in my head, but I'm unsure if it comes out that way in the writing.

But with what just happened to her in that particular episode (unintentionally dissed by Mr. Hardcoch after working herself into a frazzle putting the assembly together, plus being doused with some {probably foul-smelling} water) Miss Perriwinkle uttered the only thing that summed up her feelings at that moment...and can you blame her?

Well you did a good job without reverting to the " 'ello guv'ner" style that a lot of comic writers use to portray English people.
