It's beautiful! Not just the accent but the dialect. I love it, anyone else?

@Loopylouie oh mate I just realised we were at crossed purposes there, you meant 'plazzy' which is Plastic Scouser à la John Bishop (very Scouse but not from Scouseland at all).

Lazzy also has meaning (in Scouseland) as in 'I'm done in me, I'm on me lazzies'

Many apologies for my confusion 😁

No problem !! I thought it was a joke and meant people from over the water were on their last legs 😂😂😂!! best wishes from a plastic 😜

It’s the worst noise ever. I actually have a strong reaction to it,I hate it that much. If someone came on the tv with a scouse accent,I’d have to change channel immediately. It almost makes me nauseous

As in old?

I've always had a soft spot for Scouse too.

ihatecoffee · 05/08/2024 21:50

Can't stand the Scouse accent at all....but I love the Geordie accent!

I'm not keen on a broad vernacular from anywhere, but this especially includes the Scouse accent.
However I love it in a mild, well-spoken form.

sanityisamyth · 04/08/2024 14:40

@KirstenBlest I'm aware of that. I'm not really a fan of any of them.

I love North Eastern accents. Warm and friendly. Always cheers me up. In fact I just had a lovely woman on a helpline call just now, and it's put me in such a good mood. :)

I’m from Liverpool but live on the dark side now (the Wirral) . My kids were saying to me last week sometimes dad ( dh)sounds like you, l said what do you mean and started saying all the words we say differently, to me we just sound the same. I like how l sound and could never in my life think of any accent that l would say l didn’t like because who gives it that much thought.

l never say goodbye/bye it’s alway Ta ra, which l believe is from the Irish language of meaning take care, it’s the only thing the kids say the same as me as the say dressing gown and book “properly” 🤣🤣

Jesus yeah even I struggle with West Kerry 😆The Healy-Rae's are a sound to behold

Show quote history

The Really -Hays are more South Kerry though. They eat dere dinner in de middle of de dae baieee! Actually I met Michael Healy - Rae and he can switch codes. But Dónal ...well some app will be along soon to interpret his musings about leprechauns causing pot holes in Kilgarvan or whatever.

KirstenBlest · 04/08/2024 11:21

@sanityisamyth , there are lots of different Welsh accents. Someone from Llanelli will have a completely different accent to someone from Connah's Quay.

@JudgeJ , people from Northumberland aren't Geordies.

sanityisamyth · 04/08/2024 00:09

Not a fan of love the Scots (Edinburgh) accent and Irish (Dublin) accents. Not a fan of the Welsh accent either which is unfortunate!

TheBirdintheCave · 03/08/2024 23:49

@Iceache One does not need a purple bin to be Scouse 😬

Hermittrismegistus · 20/07/2024 19:30

I find it unpleasant.

Same

But Irish accents vary as much as English ones do. A west Kerry accent sounds as different from an inner-city Dubliner as a Devonian accent from a Geordie.

Avocadocream · 03/08/2024 23:28

My least favourite accent. Love a Mancunian or Geordie accent though.

Bellatrixpure · 03/08/2024 23:24

I love the softer sounding scousers like Jodie Comer

Was In France with a large group of Scousers, last week. Horrified to discover them referring to trousers as 'pants.' What is that all about. It made my teeth itch.

Loads of people say pants for trousers surely? Anyway in this case it was fitting vocabulary seeing at it comes from pantaloon / pantalon which in French…means trousers 😂

Zoflorabore · 03/08/2024 23:13

I love the bin arguments!! I grew up in Knowsley before we had wheely bins but moved to Croxteth Park after leaving uni and bought my first house which came with a lovely purple bin!

many years later I’m back in Knowsley so now have a maroon bin and it’s not quite the same. I have an L postcode but it’s bins that matter.

lljkk · 03/08/2024 23:00

I quite like Mancunian accents. Better than scousers.

Justleaveitblankthen · 03/08/2024 22:54

As a PP said, The Beatles had the nicest of the Scouse variants.
Really soft and melodic 😍🎼
