Never heard of such thing


Well in school I've learnt that many call centres outsourced in India are forcing their employers to change their name into a British name, and also teaching them the Geordie and other northern accent.


Wait what does that have to do with my reply? :confused:

That Geordie and Scouse accent are hard enough to understand, and imagine if it gets combine with an Indian accent.

Probably a thick Irish accent? I don't find many accents that hard to understand.

But my dad who is from the south couldn't understand a Yorkshire accent on tv once. Me and my brother could fine. But we both have Derbyshire accents, Derbyshire borders Yorkshire. I'm glad I grew up living where my mums side of the family was tbh haha. Would not have wanted an Essex accent or lived there. I visit often enough to know what it's really like.
Yorkshire (depends)
Birmingham (depends)
Scouse

I have some very good friends from north of the border and it takes a while to get accustomed every time I visit them. But after a few hours it's not too much of a problem. I find the odd wee heavy half helps!

I live near there and work with a load of them. It hurts.
Great Ayton/Middlesbrough. Basically Smoggies.

Went out with a girl from great Ayton for a bit and I swear to god every sentence she spoke sounded like "Aie air ar air air ar aie air air air air".

Speaking as a Northumbrian, their heavy vowel sounds were still too much for me :biggrin:
