Sit him in front of back to back recordings of the Queen's speech.... that'll sort the accent issue out

I'm sure you have homework to do.

duckyfuzz · 13/01/2009 21:04

yes yabvu

a northern accent is better than shouting and swearing!

Lizzylou · 13/01/2009 21:05

You hardly sound classy yourself, love.

LittleBella · 13/01/2009 21:05

Do you need to ask?

If you don't want your kid to get a northern accent, don't live in the north

FairyMum · 13/01/2009 21:05

LOL...you need to vet the accents before signing on the dotted line.

fryalot · 13/01/2009 21:05

d/ye know, I really think I may report this thread for:

offensive language in the thread title,
offensive language towards everyone north of the M25,
personal attacks on northerners.

MegaPhone · 13/01/2009 21:05

Yes. Absolutely. In fact I would go further and say if my son didn't come home sounding like Prince Harry and playing the harp I would sue frankly.

But then I am a prejudiced wanker. so ho hum.

mistressmabel · 13/01/2009 21:06

If you live up North - then what do you expect?

ilikeyoursleeves · 13/01/2009 21:07

What's Northern then? I'm in Scotland, God forbid your son starts talking Glaswegian, now THAT would be worth crying over
