To hate southerners accents?

[mrshess]

Alright i know i am a teeny bit but i cant bear the accent from down south.
I hate all that cockney geezer talk and yet they mock northern accents

[GeruptaSingh]

Thats southerners for you

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

Any particular bit of 'down south' or is it the cockney accent which offends you most?

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

each to their own, innit?
fwiw, my dh is simmilarly irrational about northern accents.

[LetThereBeRock]

The Southern accent? Which of the many Southern accents are you referring to?

[ifancyashandy]

My first ever

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

Innit, though

[AlpinePony]

shandy - I think we need to bring out a chip - to adorn the shoulder, rather than a biscuit but in keeping with the food line of emoticons.

You should all learn to talk properly. A Northern accent just sounds, well, wrong.

But then if you only have to talk to pigeons and whippets then I don't suppose it matters much.

[notnowbernard]

Well I think mine is really rather marvellous

Arse'oles to ya

[SerendipitousHarlot]

What a facking liberty

Go

[ifancyashandy]

Indeed! With attitudes such as this, no wonder it's grim oooop north!

[ChickensHaveNoMercyForTurkeys]

Whatevs

[nellieisstilltired]

yanbu, and why do people think a southern accent is intelligible. Bil is from Essex, I cannot for the life of me, understand a word he says.
Although that is something of a bonus .

[KangarooCaught]

I'm not keen on the sarf London accent, being a northerner myself...that's north London (am vay posh).

Dh has a gorgeous northern accent and he loves my RP.

[sharbie]

what go said

If its that grim up North why are so many Southerners moving up ere?

In my NCT coffee group out of 11 regulars only 3 are from the north. The rest are southerners

[notnowbernard]

'Cos it's cheap as chips up there

[PressureDrop]

How can you hate an accent? How awfully snotty.

[Desiderata]

It's cheap as chips for a reason.

[OneTwoBaubleMySanta]

Ha! Cockney, how very dare you, I am southern and have RP thank you very much!

[SerendipitousHarlot]

And it makes us feel superior.

[ifancyashandy]

To get away from all the Northerners who've moved darn sarf innit.

[spler]

But WE don't have an accent surely Ours is 'normal' and yours is 'regional'
