I must be stupid then. You’re jumping to conclusions if you think I was deliberately spiting Irish people from how I worded a poll.

Scottish, but more specifically Fifer :skull:

I speak with a black country accent which is from the West Midlands but it certainly is not a brummie accent. Our way of speaking is one with a rich history and tradition and I won't have it associated with a brummie accent :hmph:

Who else other than Niamh thinks I was being disrespectful to Irish people on my poll? 🤔

Twosugars 04-03-2019 03:05 PM

not reflecting Ireland's status as a foreign country is not right, especially considering the history of British occupation; not cool

On the other hand I listed every dialect in the vicinity of the British Isles separately. Irish speech has more similarities with British accents than anywhere outside the British Isles so I wouldn’t say I’m being disrespectful by not counting Irish accents as 100% foreign as far as linguistics go.

Why not amend it to say : Foreign - Irish?
Physical proximity and linguistic similarity is one thing but history and geopolitics matter. I'd not deny our Irish neighbours their statehood, something they fought for so hard and are rightly proud of. A matter of respect and a sign of recognizing they're not a British province any more or ever again.

Smithy 04-03-2019 03:31 PM

I really don’t get the fuss it says Foreign (aka non British Isles)

It says Northen Irish and Irish accents, if there was just one Irish option I might understand

But Ireland is part of the British isles, period. https://atrl.net/uploads/emoticons/F...C4C3265D51.gif

Smithy 04-03-2019 03:33 PM

Also shocked to find out Dezzy speaks like a brummy, don’t think I’ll ever be able to read his posts the same way again

British Isles is a debatable term and one Irish and UK Politicians don't even use much because of the political implications attached to it. And no offence Smithy it's easy for you to not be annoyed by it......

Yes that was a shock to me that he is a full time brummie and speaks exactly like Noddy Holder

I don’t think political implications are all that relevant on a poll about accents Niamh. Somehow.
