The Cumberland accent, it cracks me up every time i watch this i imagine few here will have a clue what he is on about.

How broad is your accent?

 

[Mavroz]

I have a broad Hull accent.

Or in Hull speak --- I've gorra broad ull accent.

 

[stevic]

My accent could not be more Lancastrian if i tried and it don't half pee me off when people ask "where are you from in Yorkshire"?

 

[Horners]

I just sound very northern - born and bred in Southport to Lancastrian (rather than scouse) parents, 7 years schooling in Carlisle, 3 years in Sheffield and 20 plus in South London. Most folk have me down as a Manc.

 

[Clint]

I'm Welsh...but it's assumed I'm from Liverpool....probably because Wrexham is a border town.

 

[Dutto]

It's a shameful admission, but I tend to adopt the accent of the people I'm talking to! aunsure....

When I'm back home in Derbyshire it's all "thee" and "thine" and "tha knows" but when I'm visiting relatives in the North West it moves to a Lancastrian accent and "tha babby" and "harping on".

I'm not alone! SWMBO went to Scotland last Saturday to see friends and relatives ... ukf

... and only last night I commented that she had re-adopted her East Lothian habit of saying "Ye ken?" :thumb:

SWMBO returns tomorrow ... aunsure....

... and I haven't managed to get half the stuff I need for brewing delivered! Bugger!

 

[Clint]

I bet she finds out about you being like Rab Nesbit hammered and going to bed early....

The guy seems like an imposter...
He is putting too many "H's" in and sounds too posh to be real hull.

[Zephyr259]

Born and bred in Aberdeenshire and people used to think I was English... I put that down to the 6 years living in Edinburgh then moving back north, now folks can tell I'm scottish but nothing more than that.

One of my pals confessed once that he knew when my wife was getting annoyed as her R's got longer and longer, I can't roll my R's at all.

........... I av a patty butty wi scraps an a few beers to wash it down wi.

You know I'm trying to lose weight and yet you mock me by offering the perfect supper! abigt

A penneth of scraps was a treat when I was a lad.

Some of us know that for sure! :thumb:

If you paid for 'em the scraps were seen as a meal on their own ... abigt

... but if you asked for a "bag of chips with scraps" you got the scraps for free; but a lot less of them!

 

[darkbright]

Born and bred scouser but with a soft, south Liverpool accent. Lived in Sheffield, Nottingham and now Essex for last 11 years. I have oicked up a bit frpm everywhere I've lived.

Sound, Me duck, Init!

 

[GerritT]

Accents can vary every 5 miles. Now dialects are another class: then we are talking about languages.

 

[Clint]

Scraps...scratchings? Batter bits off the fish?
