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'd rather my baby be exposed to a different accent than foul language.

Dh and I live in South and have Southern accents as does our CM but DD still says 'coome on moommy' with a proper Northern accent. BIL and his family from Carlisle were very impressed when they heard it. I have no idea where she got it from but I love it and think its really cute!

Where are you paying £900 in the north? They saw you coming love

Gotta go - whippet needs feeding tripe an I'm due for me shift up t'chimney/down t'pit/in t'mill

(mmmm Hollands steak n kidney puddings.....or babbies yed in Wigan)

Gosh, yanbu at all that must be a terrible disappointment to you. However one must always try to find a silver lining in every cloud. Hopefully your dc is learning other subjects alongside the dialect coaching. Further, things could be much worse, your dc could be learning foul language at home whereas at least if he or she is at nursery he or she is avoiding at least a few hours of such exposure a day.

feel sorry for my sisters poor DDs they have lived in Blackpool,derby,oxford,dubia and are now moving to New Zealand their mum is from west London their Dad is from Nottingham and they both go to private school (at the moment in Dubia) how F*uked up is their accent lol! its when you hear them say "ah up me duck" in a plum accent!

Just moved from the South to the North and it's wonderful up here - Can't understand a word of what anyone says to me mind you but at least people now think my daughters are "posh" due to their accent!

After listening to Radio 4's PM this evening, I think that the OP must be a close relative of Beryl Bainbridge! She was on about how the Liverpudlian accent is a sign of a lack of education and ignorance! A very well reasoned and completely rational arguement ...... not!

Redazzy, I disagree. Beryl Bainbridge rocks! And she wasn't actually saying that, she was saying how the liverpudlian accent is an affectation and there's no need for it as it could lead SOME PEOPLE to suspect someone with such a strong accent is lacking in education. And they are right in many cases. To paraphrase, what she said "an educated person can listen to themselves and correct their pronunciation".

I am Scottish and can no longer abide the Edinburgh accent in particular - it's got VERY common over the past few years. Not necessary. Ken what I mean, hen?

Right, off to bed. See how many flamers in the morning.

Love and kisses to y'all.
