I ken kents from Fife that were in the marines and end up coming back with English accents, I'd like to take the piss out of them but they would probably have killed me with their bare hands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify: "the doctor's surgery was flooded with cases of diahorrea" is not as bad as "the doctor's surgery was literally flooded with cases of diahorrea". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least people in Birmingham and the West Country seem to have some self awareness about how bad their accents are. The proper London accent isn't too bad but the home counties and South coast accent is brutal "Linda-r lets go to the cinema-r" Bristol has the UK's best accent Tell ‘ee, kidder. I loves it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I often have people over here tell me I have a strong Scottish accent! Considering I have Doric and Aberdonian heritage and grew up it Caithness it sure as hell isn’t!Years of debating, sales and teaching have probably made it less of a strong dialect, but put me in a bar in Thurso and I doubt any ‘murcan would understand without subtitles!My girls tell me my accent has softened, but they have 10+ years of exposure to it so it’s probably just familiarity, but I’ve never gone down (oooh Kenneth) the John Barrowman rout of transatlantic-izing (?) it [emoji23]Too many twats still think it’s Irish though [emoji2959] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 When at work I have to speak to a man who I can tell was an Aberdonian but lives in the south of England, the put on accent that he does absolutely kills me and I can't actually hear what he's saying as my head is going like an alarm "Tory! Tory! Tory!". I prefer to email them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearthammer Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I'm so happy i was brought up in the posh part of the Kingdom, otherwise i could have developed a genuine Cowdengellyphinnans accent like some of these yokels.
