With over a decade as a long distance exile my accent is shot to pieces. Having to speak clearer English, while learning French over there, I found myself using a different voice entirely.
When I came back for matches I'd slip straight back into my NE accent, or what's left of it. Sometimes things would become mixed up between the two and matters were worse if a NE mate/family came to visit, in France ...
... I'd end up in mixed company speaking 'clear English' to half the group and 'Durham' to the other half
If anyone didn't like it, and some didn't, they could just f**k off tbh.

I went to work in Newcastle when I was 23, didn’t understand a thing my new colleagues were saying for the first 6 months so I naturally softened the accent without realising. As did they.
I then got called posh when I came back home
Think I’m pretty much back to normal now like!
My son is doing a barbering course at SB barbers in Sunderland, the local lads keep telling him he sounds like Sam Fender, were from Northumberland ffsI went to work in Newcastle when I was 23, didn’t understand a thing my new colleagues were saying for the first 6 months so I naturally softened the accent without realising.

What do you think of Simon Jordan?
Makes me feel really uneasy this. It could turn out to be a self fulfilling prophecy.
I was talking in general terms. We can all pick on rare examples to make point. You don’t agree with my premise? That’s ok mate. Not worth falling out over.
Simon Jordan calling anyone a bluffer is hugely ironic.
What a surprise - the Ronny Gill publishes a negative story about Sunderland
Do you agree with his opinion pieces? Maybe he could interview Beales instead of gobbing off about him, prior to getting his Botox and fake tan
That is total bollocks, TM did discuss with Dodds and Proccy, team selection for every game, final shout was TM's.
Think its great that a reporter from the Chronicle wants to write a column based on the opinions of Simon Jordan talking out his arse on Talk Sport. I would have given more credence if Jordan had fully researched the subject matter or even knew that TM was not sacked for asking for money. Yes he is allowed his opinion and that is fine but it should be a better informed opinion IMO. As for the Chronicle article it is lazy journalism in the extreme and spun to feed negativity and the reporter and the Chronicle should be rightly blasted for not doing research and forming their own balanced opinion , but like I said lets just spout out what Simon Jordan says and fill column inches. Laughable and sickening at the same time.
