No that is very interesting :smile: My best friend is Russian - part Tatar (her sister has her birth place on her UK passport as USSR because she is 25, however my friend is younger and so has Russia), and my ex was Russian - part Uzbek.
I don't particularly consider myself as British anyway, as soon as I am done with university I will be out of here. My paternal side of the family is Polish/Austrian and originally I think we were from the USSR kind of area. I don't know I can't find out much about it - our ancestral surname doesn't seem to crop up very often.


Actually my main aim in the UK is to get education too and I probably won't stay here for long after. But why do you want to move? I think Britain is a pretty lovely place with extraordinary culture. Of course, there are downsides but what country doesn't have them? So where do you want to go in this case?

Wait I'm confused looool, is the 'mhmm (:' a confirmation that you're from the somewhere up north haha? :P

I sound like a Chav. :frown:


yeah :tongue: aha you really don't, not compared to a lot of the people I live near anyway...

I really can't figure out what you're saying when you say "It's probably just a ___ one" though xD

Probably Austria or Germany. I just don't like how things are here. We just seem to be a society that is going downhill fast. I appreciate all countries have their problems but here we seem to just be too soft. Ridiculous things like not being able to deport rapists, murderers and terrorists. Where in another European country they wouldn't have any of it. Oh well 4 years to go :rolleyes:
Do you mind if I PM you? I feel like I am clogging up this thread haha

I hate my voice whenever I hear it! Thought I might as well give this a go though :smile:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure some of you have heard of the 'Regional Dialect Meme' or 'Accent Tag'. You basically just have to read a list of words and see how everybody says them differently. Thought it could be interesting to give that a go too :smile:

The words are:
Aunt
Route
Wash
Oil
Theatre
Iron
Salmon
Caramel
Fire
Water
Sure
Data
Ruin
Crayon
Toilet
New Orleans
Pecan
Both
Again
Probably
Spitting image
Alabama
Lawyer
Coupon
Mayonnaise
Syrup
Pyjamas
Caught

This is amazing, I am Polish indeed ;dd I couldn't understand a few words unfortunately, did you say 'it has nothing to do with English'? or with what? ;d
but I've never lived in England, I'm planning to this September though (actually south!) thanks for the response ;d

Any guesses? To be fair, my accent changes all the time depending on who I'm with.
My accent, excuse the banging noise, my mum's cooking :colondollar:
