If it's brown, steaming and on the pavement, it's still dogshit no matter what measures you use to differentiate it.Like a true northerner, Ash, you have entirely neglected to differentiate between one group of southern fairies and another.
Are you actually from Oxford or are you an exiled Northerner? Your member profile shows Sheffield..There's us Oxford folk, who speak like you Americans think we all sound.
Ah, the Warrington of the south, then. I must admit I don't know so much about the different facets of Southern ponce.Next, there are the Aylesbury scum. They're like the Glaswegians of the Home Counties: clothed in cheap tracksuits, angry and unintelligible, and full of teen pregnancy.
No no, I mentioned Cornwall. Devonshire traitors basically allied themselves with that lot, although the speak less like the stereotypical farmer.You forgot the West Country, too.
Hm, I must admit I'm not familiar.And the Black Country (separate and distinct from the Birmingham accent area) and a ton of others.
He's not kidding, either. I can spot a Sheffielder in town from a mile away. They just sound funny.Basically, the dialect and the heritage changes every twenty or so miles in Britain. We're just like that.
Well if they adopted a more Mancunian accent I could tend to agree. But no, they fall into the same Plastic-Scouse area as Ellesmere Port, Helsby, Chester and North Wales. They sound Scouse, but not *quite*. Warrington don't have the phlegm gargling on the phoneme 'ck' (as in 'back'), but other than that it's pretty Scouse. Hence, plastic scouse Besides, Warrington is the only part of the country rougher than Liverpool itself. Maybe Nottingham...One other thing, I have a few friends from Warrington way, and they think of themselves as Mancs, not Scousers.
