- The video is just to back up my point, I will also explain... in words!
This post is mainly for any americans who may happen to stumble across my blog and notice that I happen to be british, and assume that I talk like the queen. - Actually, this post is for any british people anywhere who have ever had an american assume that they talk like the queen. Let me just put my tea and crumpets aside and get down to talking.
Over here in the british isles we have 100's of different accents and dialects, with accent's changing majorly after having travelled 30 miles away from a town in some cases. Accent's also vary depending on the person in question's age, with the youth of today talking in an entirely different way in manner compared to generations gone by. It may be confusing, but this is just the british way of doing things.
As it happens I am from the lovely county of somerset which to many folk from england, would mean I talk like this. (Yes, we don't even know how real people speak, and we live here...)

Most of you probably don't know that the wurzels are actually originally from cornwall and not somerset, and not every single one of us are farmers and drive a tractor, drink cider...Unless you happen to venture into bridgwater which is an entirely different entity altogether which I will save for a later hate-rant-post. Dirty inbreds.

Cool video. I visited England a few years ago and I though all the different accents and dialects were lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that all of the accents down south are relatively boring, whereas in newcastle, liverpool, manchester they are very distinct. Most tourists visit london, where to be honest no one speaks that posh.
