Well I never! SM learnin to talk proper like, just like we English do. And yes, I include myself in there as I was born in England. But I don't include the Scots in that as they have their own language which is totally incomprehensible, even when they're sober... which is very rare! But if yers gonna go visit the land of wee bonnie Scotland then all you have to do is learn one phrase - "see you Jimmy". When in a conversation, just make a load of different sounds very fast, finish it off with "see you Jimmy" and you'll get on like a house on fire.
And I don't include the Welsh in that either cos you can't really call that a language; it's just a load of random letters put together, with no vowels, and then all mispronounced, in a way that really does tie your tongue in a knot.
And if you ever go to Ireland, then you have to learn they don't mean what they actually say. Film is pronounced fillerm, Colm (boy's name) is pronounced column, and three is pronounced tree, which is nearly, but not quite, as bad as half of the English population pronouncing it free!
Actually, that brings me onto another thing, we (that's a general "we" which doesn't include all of us) no longer use the sound 'th'. For example, I'm goin shoppin, free uvers are cummin wiv me. kk?
I'll leave you to try work out what was said, because I haven't a clue! And kk??? I understand (well, not really!) the laziness in using wiv when typing, but kk??? What is so difficult about ok???
But I can't talk really; I'm from the West Midlands which is probably the worst accent in the world! The best accents are the female Scottish and female South Wales accents - they are just to die for!
Actually SM, unless you want to be driven crazy with all the lingo, and not by Miss Daisy as she's in Australia, then I would seriously suggest you stay put! I mean, just look at me!
I rest my case. Or is that "I rest me case"???
