FTR dave L and MSH would be classed as "carrot crunchers" by the city dwellers of the great metropolis :;):
my english(sic) that flowjoe et al find it hard to understand is estuary english
mixture of north london,irish ,carribean and pakistani patois
so a man round here is a fella,geeza or bloke
I took offence at first when i heard northerners say "reet lad?"
apparently the american accent is how the founding fathers who where from norfolk used to speak
so americans talk better english than us

when i hear the southern twang i cant help but think of the film football factory? Is that east end?

the football factory is fairly accurate apart from some glaring balls ups
never heard anyone called a "sigh" but muggy cnut and jog on are fairly common
I dunno about you fellas but the southern accent is very harsh sounding, common
I like ringing call centres in the north west just to listen to the way the women talk (EEK!)

Had a girl from newcastle on the phone the other day. Think she was cold calling. I was struggling to understand anything she said, kept on saying what until she got pissed off and hung up on me. Found a new way to deal with salesmen that won't leave me alone though :laugh:
