I try to, and working in the lingustic melting pot that is Warrington there's plenty of scope for confusing the locals.

They insist I'm from another country, not another county. Either way, they are under my spell, and put "t"s in everywhere, eg: t'phone, and th'Algarve.

I, on the other hand still drink bitter, not bi''oh, or lagoh, and don't ask a question then asnwer it : "is this yours, yes"?

t'phone.......na mon.

 

th' can only be used with words starting with a vowel or an 'm' or an 'h'.

 

wit phone would work in some instances, as in, he pissed me off so much I twatted him wit phone.

 

smiffs

speyks queens english

It's not just my kids uz cawnt speyk then?

 

Since when has Avvertun become a suburb ofSolfod,asmy eldest two sound like the sodding Gallagher brothers!

 

I talk reet gradely a wom. Though my missus is Welsh like, boyo, It's taking me longer than first anticipated to beat it out of her.......

 

Still, folks know she's not from round 'ere due to the clothes peg on a string round her neck.....

I can safely say no on my part. 18 years dain sarf has taken it's toll on me

me brother starts a new job on monday in manchester and they have told him to lose his accent as its to broad he wouldnt mind but its a scouser what told him

Oh aye lad. My accents not gooin fer't'change. The women like it (my accent that is) down here. Only yesterday a checkout chick said to me "Oooh, say something else. I could listen to you talk all day"

Another no from me too, am from Sevenoaks in Kent

I've got a strong-ish Bolton accent, I don't sound like I've spent a day down't pit, but I don't talk like a manc either. But, yes, kiddies are talking like mancs now - Boltonians will be claiming they're mancs in future

 

Could be worse - you heard how working-class kids in London talk now? They all talk like f??cking yardie gangsters

Both sound as pathetic as each other.

I was forced to have elecution lessons from an early age due to a horrific lisp so I don't think my accent's that strong. I have been informed and am embarrassed to confess, I do have a Manc twang with some words. I blame it on working in Prestwich for years previously.

my missus still takes piss outa me coz i say 'buzz' for bus and 'curtins' for curtains

 

talk proper ya silly bint...
