accents

[northepaul]

I love a Norn Ireland accent on a woman. My Dad's from Co.Down, as are all his family.

I don't have an accent.

's funny how many people dont think they have an accent!!! Do you mean you have a 'proper' English accent?

I'm gonna big up the west country and southern accents - particularly zomerzet ones!
However I like most accents if I like the person who has them.

I'm from Roscommon in the North West of Ireland and I would have a "Flat" accent for an Irishman. I like the Manchester accent but that may be because of the amount of times I have visited the place as I have friends that used to live in Urmston

I like anything from the deep south of usa. Drawl at me and I'll go weak at the knees. I obviously have a welsh accent, but a bbc welsh accent because I had to change it firstly when I moved ot cardiff becasue they couldnt understand my machine gun valleys delivery, and then again when I came to england because they couldnt understand what they thought was my machine gun delivery but which was in fact a very lazy bb gun delivery.

I have a preference for the Celtic fringe accents and I include the South West of England in that, as well as Scotland, Ireland and of course, Wales. There is a further preference, not so much the accent as the pitch - think deep and mellow - Richard Burton? Can't abide high pitched squeaky voices, male or female.
Being Kairdiff born and Kairdiff bred I have problems defining my own accent. Welsh people think I'm English, English people think I'm Welsh. Bit of a misfit really.

No idea what a "proper" English accent is.

No, I mean that if you heard me talk, I'd wager you'd be hard placed to work out where I'm from.

You is a foreigner innit.

erm, so where was I. Yes, i don't really have an accent. I do still say "cob" mind, for what people here call a roll, so when I pop into a shop and ask for a bacon cob, I get blank stares.

Chris this is an understanding issue, down here we have swansea cobs, and thats a large round loaf about 10-12 inch diameter. If you asked for a bacon cob, you'd be asking for a loaf of bread stuffed full of bacon, you deserve to get strange looks.

[veggiechicken]

Its a Bacon bap, innit?
Swansea cob & bacon might be just right from what we read of Chris's appetite!

[taff]

bacon butty innit butty?

[cardiffsteve]

mmmmmm, Tidy!
Bacon butty

*dribble dribble

[cardiffsteve]

The "Taffia" are taking over the vine!

[veggiechicken]

bacon butty innit butty?

Yeah, I was trying to be posh!

[Mikey]

Now if you come from a little further up the valley, it would be a bacon butty, beaut.
