Re: British Accents

I speak it seems with received pronunciation, anywhere but here they just call it posh which always makes me laugh as a life long cleaner from farm labouring and engineering stock I am about as far from posh as you could get

Re: British Accents

What a load of cobswallop
Didn't sound a bit like me when they got to Yorkshire, If I spoke full
Yorkshire it would be hard to understand as we speak a different language of shorted words and Viking words as do the Lancashire people.
Quite obvious they haven't researched it very well.
Thanks for putting it on though its great to have a laugh.

Re: British Accents

Re: British Accents

I didn't think it was that bad some of it sounded ok to me.....Yorkshire folk in Barnsley speak totally different to Yorkshire folk in Rotherham or Sheffield or ........well could go on forever. Still think as an overview it wasn't bad and funny with it!
