applied for manchester, bristol, glasgow, edinburgh, cambs
firm choice will be manc, insurance will be bristol
so I will known as the "brummie" I have no doubt :ashamed2:


Yeah. Probably.

No matter how far I've managed to distance myself from my Nottingham accent, there will be two phrases that will always give me away.

'Can I have a chip cob please?'
'Stop being so mardy'

Weirdo. A chip 'roll' doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Sounds it.

'Yer a mardy lassie'

:lol: I will post eventually but...

When I read things I turn into this well spoken person.

When I speak under normal circumstances, it suffices to say, I can be a chav.
This whole conversation reminds me of

Isn't it a chip butty? I have nooo idea what you guys are on about. My american/scottish lingo can not register.

Did you listen to my recording BTW? What did you think?

It's a very region dependant word. Butty is quite a common one though I think.

Quite cool how you have 2 accents:tongue:

OK, so my accent is a culmination of going to american international schools for all of elementary school and attending a Scottish state school for all of secondary school. To be honest, I'm a chameleon when I speak - I mirror the accent of whoever talks to me.

Here's my standard accent:
