samssong Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 We always come across as thick on the telly. Maybe the media look for the village idiot? Have you not seen Prince Charles and Phillip on TV . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I used to think we sounded a bit stupid sometimes on tv until all these Essex programmes started! We was,salty potato,oh.....my.......god! Etc etc. Made me feel much better. 'We was' isn't specific to a region, it's just bad grammar, like 'I were', and 'was you?'. I agree they sound thick though. ?

sedith Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I don't mean everyone of course, just the majority. Of course northerners are thick, why do you think southerners constantly take the p**s out of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daven Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I have friends in Hartlepool who consider us thick for even thinking we Sheffielders are "northern" folk. That's rich coming from Hartlepool considering the history of the monkey hangers ! http://www.thisishartlepool.co.uk/history/thehartlepoolmonkey.asp ---------- Post added 07-05-2016 at 11:21 ---------- Have you not seen Prince Charles and Phillip on TV . http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2016/may/06/channel-4-royal-family-sitcom-the-windsors This lot ? ---------- Post added 07-05-2016 at 11:22 ---------- i think the further you go the thicker they are? mind you that can go for east as well look at Essex. Agreed. The Essex accent suggests more issues with a lower IQ than that of the North imo. ---------- Post added 07-05-2016 at 11:23 ---------- Of course northerners are thick, why do you think southerners constantly take the p**s out of them?

lectrolove Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 i think the further you go the thicker they are? mind you that can go for east as well look at Essex. I'm from Essex and moved to the North. Is there any hope for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ez8004 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I don't mean everyone of course, just the majority. Answer to the original question. Definitely not. As for asking such a question, you are pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
