to hate beyond shelves my local accent?

[CauldronsTrulyReign]

I had the pleasure of sitting behind 2 locallers at TheJoyThatIsSwimmingLessons today.

I normally let the yamyam flow over me, but oh my very shirt fuse today just could not stand it.

It took about 76megapixels of resolution not to stand up and shout "Use proper words you massacrists".

Does your local accent drive you full of angst?

AIBU to dislike it so terribly much?

I don't mind a regional accent (with the obvious exceptions of course) but i really would not want one myself.

Well Leeds especially, but not keen on any of them.

Feel free to lambaste the Norfolk broad accent of my birth to make things fair

Move then.

You might get funny looks for saying you hate something beyond shelves - what's wrong with shelves?

Massacrists as a neologism meaning that they have massacred the language? Or a misspelling of masochists, in which case they are not inflicting pain on themselves (masochism) and are in fact inflicting it on you (sadism)

PS I like your neologism if that's what it was

the leeds accent is terrible -makes everyone sound thick as pig ... not very intelligent
they seem to think the alphabet has fewer letters than it actually does and it is coming out of my beautiful, inteligent DCs mouths!!!!

I am forever telling them off correcting them

but then I'm from manchester so I'm not sure I'm one to talk lol

I quite like mine - but other parts of the city just sound like a flock of seagulls screeching and cawing over a tasty bite of not quite dead pigeon.

"An er wus gooin dow-wun the tow-wun and er asked for a pow-und."

That's it though, ay it bab?

Why settle for one syllable in a one syllable word when you can make it into a two syllable words. Drives me bloody loopy, it does.

I feel your pain. Here, have a (why-in)

I am a north-easterner marooned in the south-west. I don't hate the local accent by any means but I have real difficulty taking it seriously. It always sounds like people are putting it on for some reason.

Wonder if DP feels the same when we go "oop north".

Yowm right, kid. Go to the outdoor and have a

Yup,purplepidj, a massacrist is one who massacres.

Comma space failure.

I like real accents but the 'mockney' from middle class kids drives me mad.

Just drink the and listen to my calming dulcet Queen's-English-with-a-hint-of-Hampshire

There isn't really a local accent where we currently live, people from all over here have settled in the area, it's a sort of non- accent of home counties but I'm from Cumbria and I do think that's a bit of a thicko accent, my nephew sounds like he's had a lobotomy.

And scouse! Grates on me. I have to turn the radio off if a scouser comes on, it brings back horrible memories of living in Lpool for 3 years and being the victim of 13 crimes in that period.

I really like Edinburgh and Geordie accents, Icould listen to those all day. Oh and West Country.

I like my local accent when it's spoken by old men. It gives me a warm feeling.

I've tried to tone mine down a bit. But 'av 'ad t'ge it up. T'much lark 'ard werk.

Me too, RedRubyBlue. So does the faux gangsta speak by the same demographic (maybe younger). Makes me want to slap people.

Yowm being unraysonable. I love the Black Country accent because I have one

saggar, are you in Salford by any chance?

..... but its much more difficult to write...

Maybe it should be Yowm Bein Unraysonabull ?

Nah am in t'Potteries. Stoke to yow.

Yes, you are being an idiot and you sound like a massive judgemental snob.
