I sort of agree, except if you know the person and know they were born in Liverpool. The opposite of this is - a person born elsewhere but raised from a young age in Liverpool, acquiring the accent but they can't be considered as being scouse.
The fact that you were born & spent a portion of your youth in Liverpool & therefore have a scouse accent (however diluted)
I agree, but it was the name that intrigues me, as they call them something else where I live now & I wondered if other parts of the country gave them the same name.
If you're born in Liverpool you're a scouser whether you have the accent or not. It's like saying you're American if you live there and lose your English accent - you're not American, you are and always will be English - accent has nothing to do with it. So - I have breakfast, dinner and tea. What does anyone else have?
Breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, high tea, dinner, supper and late night snacks... Anyone else?
A scouser who speaks like a wool though........ As for the other one, that's got nothing to do with scousers, that's just a measure of whether you're common or not
Still a scouser Your accent doesn't determine your 'label' [can't think of another word atm] your origin does. What you're describing is maybe a plassie scouser. 'The other one' - dinner, tea? No I didn't mean that to be anything to do with being scouse - my own family call it different things it was just a question for the barm cake/bap/cob brigade on here today.
Ask Rufflad on the manc board. He gets ****ing livid about it I have breakfast. What I call the middle one depends on what I eat then. If it's a full on meal, it's dinner (dinner ladies at school). If I have a butty, it's lunch. For the later one, it depends on time. If it's before 7.00 pm, it's tea. Anything after and it's dinner. Bizarre
I know I was having a laugh, a scouser that sounds like a wool is a paradox Breakfast, lunch & tea during the week.......dinner replaces Tea at the weekends (don't ask me why)
