im from worcestershire, i dont speak like her

steph is from worcestershire (redditch) she doesent speak like her


y does she speak like that??

a brummie accent somewthing to bew ashamed of?? i dont think so

[Kaz]

Maybe she was born and brought up in another part of the country, and only recently moved there?

I used to get annoyed when people referred to Elizabeth in BB2 as Scottish because she stayed in Edinburgh - actually she was brought up in Cumbria, so that was the accent she had.

Perhaps it's the same with Nush?

Never judge a book by it's cover my dears !


I was born in Essex......

I Spent 6 years in South Wales......

I spent 12 years in the midlands........

I spent 6 years in Hertfordshire........

I spent 6 years in Nottinghamshire......

Some more years in Hertfordshire.......

I live in Staffordshire.......

I don't have an accent at all - I think !

( I can imitate most of the ones from where I have lived but none are 'natural' to me)

I rest my case.

I can't stand Nush. I get the impression she walks around on her tiptoes all the time!!! She's very pointy as well!!!

[kaphc]

I thought Nush was from Malvern. That's outside the Brummie accent zone isn't it?

BTW Boris, now we know you are an Essex girl really!!!

[Romantic Old Bird]

BTW Boris, now we know you are an Essex girl really!!!

yes, and I've told her the white stiletto's and platinum hair are passe', but she just keeps flashing those long talons at me, so I'm keeping quiet from now on................



Seriously folks, my daughter-in-law is from deepest Brum - Perry Barr, and she has no discernable accent. Her brother has more of an Ali G 'innit' thing going on.

My eldest son is Nottingham with a strong hint of Manchunian and an overtone of Scouse, and my youngest son now inexplicably sounds like Tony Blair.

It's all down to where they went to uni and lived and worked afterwards. They both revert to type after a day or two at home, and immediately when out with old school friends.

I don't think any of it is affected, they are unaware of it until you point it out.

Personally, I am distraught that they have not achieved the same cultured clipped tones of their mother.........

As for Nush, she's just a middle class girl. I think she's fairly harmless. It's the pressure cooker of the house working it's magic folks, thank goodness!

We know it turns mild mannered, socially adept people into potential axe-murderers.

That's why we, sicko's that we are, are so fascinated by it.

I think some of the past housemates have played their accents to the full. Nush has what I call a 'nothing' accent. She could be from anywhere. Probably went to a good school where they gave them elocution lessons and made them speak 'properly'.

I think most people can speak with an accent or without as is suitable for the occasion.

I am afraid when a group of my friends and I get together we get to be quite Bristolian sounding just like Katie from Fame Academy, but then again if I am mixing in polite society i.e. something like TIBB then I can put on what my children used to call my posh voice and actually sound as if I come from nowhere in particular.

An accent is an accent. What annoys me is the terrible British accents that Americans put on when they play the role of a British person. Now that is BAD.

talking of accents does Ray's melt anyone else or is it just me? xxxxx
