You certainly do need an education, especially in English.

Finally some Northern support 🎉

I mean, this thread is weird and wonderful, but wind up or not, I am all in favour of northern accents, I find them much nicer. 😊

Eggsinthemorning · 06/07/2022 20:29

So many who don't have a regional accent on here no surprise we need a A NORTHERN MUMSNET

Hey OP- get off the special brew, take bins down 't' ginnel for collection and get your mardy arse to bed 😁 Excile from the south east in yorkshire with proper yorkshire born and bred DC. They have had exposure to good schooling, culture and have not grown up as home counties wankers 😁

But did OP have her special brew at home or darn werkinmens?
I'm not from Yorkshire originally but live here too, same with kids. 😁

So essentially you're annoyed that none of the British players or commentators at Wimbledon happen to be from Yorkshire? But of course the players and commentators for rugby union are nearly all from Yorkshire. Maybe you could watch that instead?

BlackberrySky · 06/07/2022 20:33

Sorry, meant rugby league!

Oh my god this is so weird.

Accents are fun and I wish we celebrated all the variety a bit more rather than a handful of token over-enunciated “northern” accents on the TV in a minor character once a year as a present for behaving ourselves if we are lucky.

I feel it’s definitely getting with shows like Sherwood at least (even though it came across a bit like someone not northern wrote it)

Why are we saying ginnel and snicket when clearly the correct term is jennel?! 🤣😁

Plummy

You seriously think all areas of South London are plummy?

Maybe you should actually stop being rude and understand accents before you start spouting nonsense
