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

WetBandits · 22/07/2024 13:08

Ah I love it!

I had a terrifying Scouse teacher at school but she was the BEST teacher I’ve ever had by far.

Also had a Scouse friend with benefits and his voice used to make me go all funny

I only dislike two accents.

Scouse and Northern Irish.

I have no idea why, but they just grate on me 🤷‍♀️

hari27 · 22/07/2024 12:50

I absolutely love it. We are Scottish but brother in law is scouse and I’m just like talk to me. Read to me 🤣

i struggle with Birmingham accent the most.

I like the scouse accent and it reminds of the stoke accent

Most favourite though is southern Ireland I find that quite beautiful
Couod listen to that all day long .

The two accents are not alike in the slightest

Interesting. Not even a sexy North Lancastrian lilt?
Mind you I am similar about the South where I grew up and cannot bear most Southern accents. Estuary being the worst, Bristol and the west country (my old accent) sounds like a piss take and most London accents sound put on and guttural. RP sounds wet. I can't think of one I like. Where as I love some of the West Yorkshire twangs, NE can be very sexy especially around Durham and love anything North of Preston to the South Lakes.

Defintely not a Lancashire accent. I don’t mind a very soft Cheshire or Leeds accent but I find Lancashire really grating

I love the Scouse accent and have actually dated a few scousers in my time. I'm from North Wales though, so hear it a lot as they're always down here on their holidays 😅. I've always said that I'll probably end up marrying one 🤣

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.

My nanna had a gorgeous 'old Scouse' accent (think Cilla Black) which I much preferred.

Yes, one of my fondest memories of being a kid was my mums best mate, my aunty, who was gorgeous, and talked just like Cilla. All good humoured, and you could hear her laughing down the road.

BellyPork · 21/07/2024 21:03

Martin Freeman reportedly trained hard for the accent in The Responder. I couldn't understand a word.

In my Liverpool Home, In my Liverpool Home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare,
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare,
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool Home

Lampshadeblue · 21/07/2024 20:36

I had a friend from Liverpool and men seemed to go crazy for her accent.

Squirrelsnut · 21/07/2024 11:55

If you look at interviews with The Beatles from the 60s, they have fairly pleasant accents which sound warm and good humoured.

I like the Scouse accent but not the forced, ott fake one that some people seem to talk in these days. That goes through me.

Example - I love the Scouse ghetto gourmet on tiktok. Lovely, soft real proper Scouse accent.

I'm from the outskirts, so a woolyback, but some of the people round here talk in these plastic Scouse accents that are harsh and so ott and fake. It knocks me sick.

I'm the same as you. The genuine Scouse accent is lovely.

I do also love a Geordie accent!

Willoo · 21/07/2024 08:19

It’s my worst accent, even worse than the Birmingham accent.

Sheknowsaboutme · 21/07/2024 08:10

Sets my teeth on edge. I hate it

TheBirdintheCave · 21/07/2024 08:10

I'm a Scouser with no accent (northern edge of the Liverpool postcode) and I'm not a fan of the 'modern' version of it where it's so thick you can barely understand it. My nanna had a gorgeous 'old Scouse' accent (think Cilla Black) which I much preferred.

Same. Southern accents are absolutely characterless. Not Bristol etc., but that RP as you say. What a turn off.

DustyLee123 · 21/07/2024 08:09

I grew up in Liverpool and moved away, but when I go back I find it a very ‘hard’ accent now. I’m sure it’s more pronounced than it used to be.

I quite like it. I prefer the Yorkshire accent (where I live now as a southerner).

VerityUnreasonble · 21/07/2024 07:58

I quite like a scouse accent but DH once pointed out that it sounds a bit like angry cats and now I can't unhear that.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 21/07/2024 07:30

Love it. Loved visiting my son at uni there to hear it , unlike the accent of the one in a Welsh uni!

Nothing beats Geordie though 💚

Moonshiners · 21/07/2024 07:26

TheHuntSyndicate · 20/07/2024 22:50

Not for me, I can't stand any kind of northern accent.

NeverGuessWho · 21/07/2024 07:23

Genuine old Scouse accents sound lovely, I think, but that seems to be dying out.

As PP said, younger people seem to really ham the accent up, it never used to be harsh, it used to be quite gentle.

BippityBopper · 21/07/2024 07:17

I dislike it. Like others have said, it sounds phlegmy.

I had a scouse manager once though and her accent was quite comforting. It wasn't as harsh sounding but still had a tinge of the scouse here and there.
