Born Hunter 17,638 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 The one for me for Nott's folk, particularly those north of the city is calling everyone 'youth', only you have to say it in a strained way as if you're forcing it out with your diaphragm. For Leicester, just say Les'staaar. Like a right f***ing chav and you've pretty much mastered that accent. LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neems 2,406 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I mostly grew up in Liverpool but moved around the north west a bit,when I was 22 I moved to North Yorkshire and no-one there could understand me,my Mrs Nan died thinking I was Polish. Without noticing it I started to speak much slower and more clearly so the locals could understand me,probably sound as simple as a brummy now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CushtyJook 1,097 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I live near to avonmouth now or little Poland as its now known and you can spot a pole a mile off, big lads ,crew cuts and as Kanny said a right flat head at the back, what's that all about, do there mothers give birth standing up and just let em hit the floor? Oh and I have the broadest West Country accent that you only get from growing up in a right rough council estate, I can usually even identify people around Bristol by there local accent, I speak like wurzel gumage and am proud as punch of my roots I was there not a few hours ago on the hightstreet window down not one voice walking past was English and that is true Quote Link to post Share on other sites
