People from St Helens sound a lot more like Mancs than actual Scousers.

Sure you’re not from Rainhill/Prescott instead of actual St Helens Marsh?

Marsh has admitted to being an actual scouser before so the receipts are in

I pmed him the other day to enquire about his health etc and he replied

"'Got these jarg shades off this wool, they're a bit antwacky but I was skint, like."

I used google translate and it means he got new sunglasses apparently

Pretty non-descript scottish. Like a pretty neutered version. Possibly a bit posh? My English uni friends said they thought I was English when I met them

Been told I’m very “Welshy” but my area is a weird one.

Like you go into Wrexham town/bit further on towards the North and people almost speak Scouse or “Scelsh” (hybrid). Where I am and towards the town of Llangollen are very Welsh sounding but go a little over past Chirk way towards Oswestry and it’s very different again.

When I went to uni (my local in Wrexham) my mate off my course assumes that I came from near her in Cardiff when she first met me because of my accent!
