Lambo is a scouser - rejoice! said:
Stoke? It's in the Midlands and must surely have the most 'orrible accent ever. Interesting though. I thought it was having spent so long away from the souf that I confused the accents. My mum had that lovely Hampshire burr we used to hear on the terraces (roast 'em, Michael!) but I hear Estuary English from Essex to Hampshire these days.

Jay's accent is not generic northern, because there isn't such a beast. Unlike Rickie, he's "chuffed" not "made up", for example.

Anyway, good luck to Jay and his bride. Mind, getting married is a doddle. Staying married is the hard bit. Me and my missus have clocked 50 years. She keeps saying she's going to trade me in for a younger model, but I reckon she may have left it too late!

Talking of Northern accents, they vary enormously within a short distance, For example the St Helen's one is very different from Liverpool's although the borders almost touch. Manchester's is quite different from the Rochdale and Oldham ones although they are very near. In fact Oldham and Rochdale's are similar to those of Preston, Blackburn and Burnley. It has a "err! with a northern lilt.
 
Yup. As an exile from the Steel City I can tell Sheffield from almost anywhere around, even ten miles away.
