stanleyella said Northern English people do not say "have a look at this book" they say" have a luke at this buke"
Or "I am eating my dinner" it is "I be having me dinner"

I'm "Northern English" and I can say that such generalities are complete twaddle and these are cliches that should be reserved for the Four Yorkshiremen sketch.

Best wishes,

Tom

All my family spoke like that. From Salford, Preston , Chorley ,Hull.
From my heart that is how I remember my family.
My mother lived to 87 and 50 years in Cardiff did not change here accent and the way she spoke.
I would give anything to hear her voice again.

I'm with Tom - it's generally not true that they speak anything like that.

I'm the younger generation, my parents are from Salford and Oldham and probably of your generation. The generation before that (my grandparents) probably did speak with all those cliches (though not to my now distant recollection). I suspect the BBC and more general education has and continues to erode the regional differences from anything other than the soap operas.

Best wishes,

Tom

Wow, hang out in Leyland for five minutes, it's horrendous.

There's no 'h' or 'g' in having.

"am 'avin' me dinner"

Male or female, it's rare to hear someone get through a sentence without at least one profanity.

Parents address their offspring using the f-bomb or the c-bomb.

"kecklec" for kettle
"bockle" for bottle
"ospickal" for hospital

"ee learned me to drive"
"ee borrowed me ten quid"

I am 68 and maybe you are right like how "old speak" gets lost.
In C-air-diff as it is spoken it is a strange mix of cockney and welsh english going back 100 years. Cardiff (/?k??rd?f/; Welsh: Caerdydd [kair?di?�, ka??r?d??�]
You have to go only 20 miles to the next town to find a very different accent.

Funny I can't follow other people's code and probably they can't follow mine.

Taking advantage of the fact that you are discussing forms of pronunciation, which is more correct, grey or gray?

Many will choose one color or another, but may end up realizing that there are many other colors, unless your picoMite VGA has output 1-2-1 :)
