TO BE PISSED OFF THAT I PAY 900 FUCKING QUID A MONTH, FOR MY DS 3 TO GO TO NURSERY, AND HE';S GETTING A HIDEOUS NORTHERN ACCENT

[900amonthforthisshitANGRYMUM]

Is that what i am wasting my money on.
Oh the way he says Come 'ere.
really makees me cringe.
900 quid a month for that

I think you've raised a really important issue here. I mean, why is that more middle class graduates with nice accents don't want to work in nurseries for the minimum wage looking after other people's kids???

Personally I think the fact that your son is picking up a northern accent is hilarious!

i think its fucking disgraceful miself.

My kids retained their northern accent despite being surrounded my southern fairies.

therefore i conclude that northern children understand what it is to be proud of where you come from, they can withstand the influence of society and peers - not like southern fairy kids, who absorb the first northern monkeyness to go near ...

our accent is to be envied - not badly copied, please remind your children - ALL of you - its a matter of dignity that you should try and teach your children not to bend to every passing wind.

not like northerners who can withstand a hurricane.

Oi, I'm not a southern fairy either!!!

DevilwearsPrimark, were you talking to me?

No to the op. ffs is it day for people to jump on me?

sorry. I shall now jump off you

troll on

bucharest it is a work of pure, pure ,pant wetting genius!

pinkjenny i have driven past the motorway exit to skem, dahlink, have not actually set foot there!!

Come down yer and learn to talk proper loike os debon gurls. Or if, like my mother you abhor the local patois, you could always send your child for h'elocution lessons my dear. That's why I don't spesk like a D
Devonshire bumpkin person don't you know.

La-di-da-da

Just shows that us Yorkshire people are the dominant, neigh, superior race! (Ha!Ha!)

Song coming on..... "On Ilkley Moor bah 't'at, On Ilkley Moor bah 't'at......"

nay, surely, not neigh!

oooo - only just seen this thread........

Sorry edam, but we obviously spend lots of time with our animals up 'ere. 't 'd be a shame if we didn't pick up on their accents too.

Tha's reet, lass.

We live in London, but Mancunian DH is indoctrinating 2-year-old DD in the accent of righteousness.

Excuse me Custy but i'm a tough southerner and come from some of the rankest estates known to mankind not withstanding their theoretically posh locality. I am proud of my ability to both cook quinoa (even though its rank) and drink in a cider house without being outed as an imposter!

'Arrhh! Somerset - Scrumpy 'n' skittlin', tractor language land - (I heard this description from an ex-work colleague)

Do we share the same morris dancers then? '

I think we do. LOL at the rest- DH spent his first 5 years obsessed with trat'ers, we have access to one and my Dad is a skittles champ

Don't worry. When you send him to an independent school, you will be able to rescue the situation by sending him to elocution lessons.

It won't be any cheaper than your current childcare arrangements, though.

Look on the bright side. It could have been a Brummie accent

Clarissimo, suggest we try MadamDeathstares suggestion and repeat this over and over again.

It'd work well enough 'til we went 't' smoke and spoke 't' people on 't' tube, then they'd know summat were up wiv us been so friendly like.

Oh, and WOW a real tractor you are posh, we get the kids out int field as soon as they can walk, do it all by hand they do.

Wondering now if you skittlers had Yorkshire ancestors who were lost away from our Gods Country (There! First one to claim it on this thread!)

Where has the OP gone to. Just realised we may have hijacked this thread. What if she genuinely is concerned????

ha, as a southener living up north parents have commented on their children picking up my accent in the nursery where I work. Children pick up what they hear the most and if that is the accent of the nursery nurse then what a sad life for your children

well op you cheap wad £900 pah.you need to attend a more expensive better calibre nursery

My kids haven't picked up a Welsh accent yet, as its the Newport one they know when they're well off

I can switch mine on or off depending on need. By far the best LOL.

tallulah- there's a yorkshire chap next door (wears a woolie hat and says by 'eck a lot , doesn't use car even on cold days)- he's very like my lot LOL! We did this thing at Uni where we had to define where we saw ourselves geographically- evryone else was 'British' or 'Welsh'- we were Yorkie and Zumerzet!

peachy - I do not speak tractor (as I hope you remember!) but I will confess to a desire to drive one. Is this the beginning of the end? Will I end up 'my lovering' everyone and joining a carnival club?

Well if you do make it ours we coul;d do with a few people with sense (did you miss my saga thread iof the quiz sheet containing the racist N word? )

I'v never dricen a tractor. I'd like to, ythough, but it invovles some sort of seclutching procedure that I don't quite understand. Have welded though.

I don't say me lover. That's Bristol isn't it? I'm more of a gertun ttratter sorta girl .
