Yeah, I am going to milk this offence for all of it's worth, clearly. It is true that I have an absurdly scouse accent and it will be confirmed by users screamingskull, h8_kurdt, jon boy and racehorse.

A large portion of my family is from Glasgow and they all speak english like broken lawnmowers.

"Errr..."

I think it's OK as long as you wear blackface while you do it.
This applies to any mock accent.

Preaching to the converted: Welsh isn't a singular accent. People from Bangor speak entirely differently to those from Swansea (particularly south Swansea). Birmingham isn't the same accent as Wolverhamton (it tends to be Wolves that get the bad rep). There's a difference between Geordies from North of the Tyne to South. I wouldn't confuse someone from 'ull with someone from Skeggy. There's a fairly large difference depending on which side of the Mersey you're on. Salford is masses different from Manc. For my part, there's a huge difference between a Cliftonite and a 'cliffer, and a difference again from a Wesser. That's not to mention the difference between a Hedger and a Pointy-head (I forget their proper name), which for the majority of you, given a map, would represent about 20 miles.

I used to live with a couple of Chinese people and they were astonished that there could possibly be a difference between London accents and Bristolian accents (ultimately, not a huge geographical gap). Is that the case where you're from?

I really like Britain. I really like the fact that, with a bit of work, you can start telling that such-and-such a person is from such-and-such a pole of the border and which team they're likely to support.

Everyneurotic 07.29.2008 07:42 PM

that is weird.

here, there's three different accents:

1) people from the south and the gulf talk one way.
2) people from the north (or past a certain mileage from the city) talk another way.
3) people from mexico city and immediate surroundings.

there's even slang differences and different words depending on each three, although most df-spiel is well known outside.
