Why has Michelle changed her accent?
I loved her proper Geordie accent before :(
|
Something to do with living away from home maybe?
|
Thats what i thought, jan, she'll have moved to London and just lost it
|
6 years in London.
:hugesmile: |
Eh, 6 years in London means fack all tbh. People keep their accents for life...
|
Still sounds a Geordie to me....

Its because the rest of the eejits in the UK dont know how to speak proper. So we have to tone the accent of the master race down. It also helps alleviate the insecurities and jealousy of the lesser races.
Bet it appears when she forgets herself and whenever she pops home. |

Apparently accents are pretty 'set' at a young age. If you move to another part of the country, or another country entirely, and make a concious decision to want to change to fit in you will pretty easily.
I moved from the Midlands to the North West but was determined to keep my accent and I have. I've been here years now. Joss Stone notoriously developed an American twang overnight - as has Nadine from Girls Aloud - so the answer is: yes you can, but have to want to. |

My parents never lost their accent in all the years we lived in Africa but we kids all did. Within months of us moving back, years later, we were back to our original accents. :hugesmile: |

Hope you at the sink with that laptop. Or is t'man of t'house down t'pub? |
Her accent is a really weird hybrid. She will talk geordie and then unexpectedly pronounce words like 'nasty' as 'nah-sty'... a little weird, sort of like Mario's mid-Atlantic accent.
