"Accents"

Just discuss various Accents from various places here. Could end up being pretty funny... :)

I live in Suffolk so i guess i have a farmers accent, well obviously i dont hear it so i dont know. But i would probably sound like a farmer to all of you.

thang kyer = spoken at high speed, used by Norfolk shop assistants when accepting money
how're yer gettin arn = norfolk greeting
hair = here

tross = pronounced like gross only beginning with a "T". suburb

I've called women that before. I'm not a Scot so I don't think it works so well. I call most women "lass" though.

I am from Essex - though it is probably obvious from my voice, it is very vivid in certain areas of the county.

It makes you feel weak in the knees to hear a true essex bird

East London - My cousins talk... strange way of talking indeed

'like wassup bloodminigger wat ya sayin? Its trippin like innit bruv...****off'

But truly, The scottish accent never really struck me before - usually ity is generally harsher nad more abrupt... but a CUTE couple from scotland come in the Aquarium today

'LOOK A THAT WEE PUFFA DOONEY - ITS A BUBBA AYE INNIT A BUBBA!' there accent in no less a way - ROCKED. I do not know which part of scotland they were from but it was the jolliest funnest accent ever. Not harsh like my friends - o no! It was jolly and soft yet loud!


p.s. My friend is dating a scot and too any scottish gentlemen = big turn on for ladies from england to call them your 'wee lass' when asking for sexual intercourse.. o yes

"Huh Canny means Can't in Edin"

That's because you're special.

While at work on... Thursday I think it was, one kid called somebody, and the guy he phoned called him a "Scotch c**t"

Some people can't tell Scottish from geordie? Jesus Christ...

It's almost as bad as Americans claiming they don't have accents. Always makes me laugh when they say that.
