Members bolty58 Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 Bolty's got a case of reverse accent-ism. The further away he gets, the more like a yokel he sounds. Your attention is rather flattering young man. You seem to label me with many -isms. I wonder if there's an ointment for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freds dad Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I can't help but think a lot of people falsely add dialect, sayings and 'Boltonisms' purely for effect. And they call these people Peter Kay and Paddy McGuinness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
