    Strong welsh accents - especially cardiff - is the only regional dialect/pronounciation i have real trouble understanding.

    REALLY hate the sound of them too :yuck:

    my mam is from naorth wales, she dislikes the south welsh as well

    why is it the north and south of countries always hate eachother? :/
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    because people from the south are generally strange

    Come to think of it, it's the same with Athens and Thessaloniki... Though mainly the football teams.

    Mr M hails from N. Wales. Ooh, his accent is so..... rrarrrr.

    ETA: I'm very much from the South and I eat butties. But it's only a buttie when it's got chips or jam in it otherwise it's a sandwich. :D

    I like almost all accents. Apart from the Black Country one. :/

    I dont mind many accents really, though i have trouble understanding any accent, even my own. Maybe I'm deaf, or maybe I just dont listen.

    Not keen on the 'lesta' accent (Leicester) - i didnt used to mind it because we just used to say eh instead of ee at the end of words, and miss off all the Ts:

    Wossat - What's that
    Owmuchisit (pronounced, I'm a chisit) - how much is it (apparently, according to my sister, 'chisit' has become derogatory slang for white people in leicester because of it)
    Ratbeh - Ratby (its a village)

    I dont think i have such a strong leicester accent anymore, my girlfriend had a posh sheffield accent and its rubbed off on me. She's not from sheffield though :/

    I think you must be common, or lazy shyboy because i don't talk like that :p

    Never mind Shyboy, it could be worse. You could be from Dudley.

    Some accents scare me, especially when people talk really fast and I find it hard to understand. Almost as if it's some kind of foreign language.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    i've mostly lost my accent but now and again people will say to me ...
    'you sound just like fred dibnah' ...talk about wanting to disapear up your own arse ole!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    i now i'll probably sound really stupid now but..........

    who's fred dibnah? :blush:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

    my girlfriend had a posh sheffield accent

    Surely that's an oxymoron? What in G's name is a posh sheffield accent?

    I'm not 100% sure, she talks with a posh accent and my sister-in-law who also talks in a posh accent (too many cheltenham ladies colleges) said it sounded like it was from sheffield.

    Well, I suspect your sister-in-law was ribbing your girlfriend a little...
