Is this how people from Leeds talk or unique to Ellie and Izzie (Gogglebox)

[darkchocolatecoffee]

I’m referring to those sisters off Gogglebox (Ellie and Izzie).

When they have a conversation, they continuously repeat the subject matter. Example (not a real one) but just to explain what I mean:

Ellie: did you see the sausage roll at Auntie Margaret’s house the other day?

Izzie: no I didn’t see the sausage roll at Auntie Margaret’s house… did she have a sausage roll there? I love a sausage roll but I always try and get one from the local bakery but they never have the sausage rolls there. Auntie Margaret just loves her sausage rolls but I need my sausage rolls to have enough meat, I do.

I’m not sure if I’m explaining it well but I’m just curious is this way of talking unique to these sisters or is it more of a local way of speaking?

The Siddiquis are lovely. Quietly funny. I'd like to watch telly with them.

Auburn Durham girl - yes I think she also didn’t know who the prime minister was…

There was a point, not that long ago, when it was difficult to keep up with that! 🌹

Daddy Siddiqui is brilliant.

I find it soothing watching functioning relationships.

Me too! I think it is genuinely lovely to see people getting along and clearly caring a great deal about each other.

That's why I like the Siddiquis and the 3 brothers so much - there seems to be such strong bonds between them.

The Siddiquis are lovely men. I have a crush on the older brother. He doesn’t seem to be on it as much now.

I think Pete and Sophie are really funny too.

Another vote of love for the Siddiquis and also for their cat. And for Dave the dog. And for that rather alarming but lovely large grey dog that belongs to one of the Newcastle? girls.

I find them really annoying 😆
i def haven’t engaged with newer cast members either like the holding hands couple, Scottish couple, mum and son.
I do like Simon and his sister, they’re a bit more ‘with it’. The Durham friends are too thick for me esp the slim one - she is clueless! The other one has a baby and TS prob her house i think.
Another one who loves the Siddiquis - and also Pete/Sophie.

Dave died. 😭 Quite recently.
As did the Brighton dad (I think? Mum is always knitting?

Gogglebox is my guilty pleasure. I love it and I don't even know why 😂

The only one (who bizarrely has gone on to fame) that I could have done without was Scarlett Moffatt. Unlike the Leeds sisters who are actually genuinely funny (and I think without realising it) Scarlett just never was and sat always not watching the telly but turned towards her parents to say something "funny" but was usually a variation on "what the fuck does that mean/is that". I don't think her parents brought a great deal to it either but they just seemed cowed in her shadow. The dad rolling his eyes and the mum lapping up her every word.

Miss Leon and June ❤️

RIP Dave 🐕

Yes. Scarlett Moffatt. Why? A complete mystery to me.

Totally agree about Georgia and Abbie, they are such sweet girls, I think the comments on here about their intelligence are really quite spiteful.

I like Georgia and Abby - they seem like kind people and we could do with more kind people in a world which feels increasingly aggressive. Also like Simon and his sister Jane - a gently caring and funny pair. I'm really unsure that the Baggs family add anything - I wouldn't miss them if they left. I'll miss Marcus and Micha ("Big Mich") who are leaving/have left? I do love a bit of people watching. I do like the Malones - especially dad Tom whose dog loves him SO much. They used to have four large dogs I think - maybe they've passed on?🌹

The Baggs family haven't been on for ages, which I'm very thankful for.

I'm really unsure that the Baggs family add anything - I wouldn't miss them if they left.

Good news, then - they went in 2022
