Show me your accent!

[catmate]

I am really sorry if this has been done to death but I thought it might be fun to guess where we are from based on our pronunciation? I would have loved to have studied linguistics and I love this kind of thing. BtW the way the last thing I want is arguments or piss taking, it's just a bit of fun. To begin with (me) 'fack' for 'fuck'

Surely yum from Shropshire?

If you have seen the movie you know the accent. (It’s real… in the area I’m from)

I don't have the local accent but my dh and dc do. They say shot instead of throw/thrown. Say like about a hundred times a sentence and say winder, yeller instead of window and yellow.

C'mon Bru. Put foot, we said we'de be there now now.

@FluffyBooBoo I’m probably further north than you - but I’m jist a filthy sooth-moother!

I don't have the local accent, but my uncle and aunt do. This is the proper accent, not the London accent people think of as being from round here - this poem is at our train station:

I see young Nat come outer his,
As I come outer mine,
" An' where you off to, booy ? " I sez,
You're dressed up somethin' fine ! "

" I'm gooin' by the trine," he say,
In harf an hour or sao,
I'm goon to XXX to-day,"
He say, " if you must knaow."

He'd never bin to XXX!
He hadn't, I'll be boun'.
Well, tha's a caution, ent it, sir,
He'd never sin the town !

He oughter went next Saddy, sir,
When I shall be a goon,
For tha's the day for XXX —
A Saddy arternoon.

(There's a lot more of it!)

Gerra ou’a my pub!

I’m feelin dead badleh cos I gorra code me doork.

@wearewizardsofoz

Alrigh' luv? My accen' is just a bi' borin'. I like bu'er on my bred.
