Bonzo77 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 There is nothing worse than a smug cockney moron taking the mickey out of us northerners for our accent! Just the other day I was told by a southerner that "we seem to have removed the word, the from the English language". Well, for a start you annoying cockney rhyming prat, there is no R in bath, don't come to live up north & tell us that "we don't talk proppa"!!

Swan_Vesta Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 There's a world of difference between Cockneys and the rest of us Southerners (who do talk properly btw). I wasn't born within earshot of Bow Bells but am frequently called a Cockney by those who have no idea - It's like me calling everyone here a Lancastrian because you're all Northerners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeny Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 My great grandmother was a proper cockney! I was born on the isle of white and am happy to be a southerner even when I have lived up north for many years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 That was Michael MCIntyre last night ... I thought it was quite funny. He said that 'the' gets off the bus somewhere on the M1 along with his friends 'nothin' and 'somethin' and refused to travel any further North.

I met you once and I never noticed ... you must have picked up the twang along the way Although now I think about it, you never actually spoke to me. I was just listening in awe ... like everyone else present at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather remiss of me Ruby, I suspect 'listening in awe' is code for 'nudging each other willing that boring halfwit to shut up!'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, now, don't get arsey with me. JK! It was at the Rawson Spring, quite a few years ago now. It must have been a bad experience, I don't think you ever went again, did you? @ Bonzo, as we're discussed before, it's not an 'r'. It's a long 'a' as opposed to a short 'a' Just a different dialect, don't let him get to you, it's nothing to get cross about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite enjoyed myself in all honesty but I'm not really a pub person so meets are a little out of my comfort zone ... I'm sure I'm getting more antisocial as the years progress.

Somehow my smilies don't seem to be working very well today, they must have dropped off the bus somewhere along the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
