Accents.
 
What does your accent sound like/the local accent sound like and what accents do you love?



Everyone round here sounds like these guys LOL, including me (female version though :laugh:)

My accent is really *****ed up.

Claymores 20-06-2010 11:38 AM

The local accent here sounds like Karly from BB10 - fortunately I've lived/worked away so my accent has changed! I'm damned by everyone tho - in Fife they say I'm posh, elsewhere they say I've got a bit of Karly in my working-class voice.

Shaun 20-06-2010 11:38 AM

I don't think I have an accent.

Haw! I'm the only posh Fifer around here!!

Claymores 20-06-2010 11:49 AM

A few of my german pals can speak perfect english BUT when they visit my area, if a Karly type talker speaks to them, I still have to interpet what they say back to english for them!

Hahaha.. Yeah so Cara, I have a Fife accent but it is NOTHING like Karly's . As for the accents I like... I don't think you can beat the Irish accent.. I like the Northern Irish accent too and erm that's about it.. Oh no, actually I like a well spoken Edinburgh accent and I quite like the Geordie accent. Oh and the Aussie accent too..
And I love a plummy English voice.. like Hugh Grant or Richard E grant :)

Me? Never! One time in Glasgow I went with 6 Germans to a kart racing place - the bloke bloke said it was fine so long as we all understood the safety rules and could I translate once he'd told them. He gave the speil in weegie-talk, then I just turned to the german pals and said exactly the same thing in clear english.............the germans fell about the floor laughing!!!!

Lee. 20-06-2010 12:15 PM

Actually Edith Bowman is from Fife so I suppose I'll have a similar accent to hers..
I don't drop my T's as much though !!! :mad:


sooty 20-06-2010 12:20 PM

I have heavy Japanese accent. L and R are one of difficult to pronounce.

My husband is from Newcastle.
Because he lived in South for many years he would like to think he lost Geordie accent.
But when he gets angry for something, suddenly his accent changes. ha ha

Unlike Karly who'll drop her knickers for 50p?

And unlike you, Edith comes from East fife, not your Dumfi nonesense end

Tsk! My starting rate is £10... at least!!
Edith is from Milnathort.. I'm sure to many in here a Fife accent would sound the same no?

I sound like a man version of Caoimhe from BB11 mixed with Orlaith from BB6.
