Len Cnut Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I've always thought it indicative of a subconcious desire to be from down south that every northerner out there can do a bang on impersonation of a southern accent Yet ask some southerners to even discern the difference between Manc', or Scouse or Geordie and loads of em can't even do that, let alone immitate it.

Might be an exposure thing, the media exposes more northern English people to southern accents than vice versa. English people from north or south can very seldom imitate any Scottish accent without sounding totally fake, but I reckon a fair few Scots can make a decent hash of a range of English accents.

Scots nail it too, every Scot I've seen doing an English accent has it bang on but I cant remember anyone doing a Scottish accent well. I can just about recognise certain differences in certain areas of Scotland (VERY broadly) and the accents but ask me to do one? No fuckin chance. Yeah i suppose you make sense, exposure and that off the telly and such. Your accent was such a let down, i thought it'd be like reading an Irvine Welsh novel and there you were sounding all proper, I was gutted I dont mind sayin'.

I've lived a year and a half of my life in England and 10 months in Mexico, working with people from South Africa, the Netherlands, England, Italy, the U.S., Australia, Germany, France, Wales, Belgium, Poland... and so on. I learned that it's less annoying to "talk properly" and only have to say it once, than to repeat it 3 or 4 times, so on the podcast, I used that neutral "international voice". In all honesty, lots of people in Scotland do that, they'll have one voice they use in formal settings and another that gets used in the hoose... Listen to Frankie Boyle talk when he's in conversation with someone and his speech is totally different to when he's performing. I reckon you'd be much less disappointed if you heard me have a normal conversation with my brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Tory peer says Brexit is good because young people will be able to work longer hours 'I just feel we would be better off out of the EU' A Tory peer has argued Brexit is a good thing because it will allow young people to work longer hours. Lord Harris, a retail tycoon estimated to be worth more than £100m, claimed he could only employ staff for 35 hours a week under current EU laws. However, the European Working Time Directive states employees should not be forced to work longer than 48 hours, and they can opt-out if they decide. During an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Lord Harris was asked to explain how leaving the EU would help young people. He said: “It will give us more opportunity. It will give younger people more opportunity in this country and we won’t be controlled…” When asked why, he replied: “Because we’ll have more freedom of laws.” Asked what's wrong with the current laws, Lord Harris said: “Well if you take a retailer, we can only keep our staff on for 35 hours a week, I think it is now.” After admitting "we haven't done too badly" when the presenter told him "you've done alright out of it," he added: "I just feel we would be better off out of the EU." Lord Harris is now among the 1,000 richest people in the UK, according to The Sunday Times Rich List.

DieselDaisy Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 When I was in Chesterfield a Derbyshire lady said ''she loved my accent''.

DieselDaisy Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Fuck me, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-35752756 Heinous So under this policy Len could become a named person and educate the child in the Arsenal and merits of Ali and rap music? PS I do a good Scottish accent but I have a few drunk jocks as family members. I sat next to a Scottish lady when going to Chesterfield. All gadget-ed up she was, lap tops and wires and stuff clinging on into the plug (which I had to unplug). And here's me with a history of derbyshire cricket for company.
