(Yes, its pre season, football is quite a limited subject at the moment) Which is your favourite? I seem to like the mancunian accent lately, love the norfolk accents. Good old farmers
"Cumbrian" doesn't tell me anything I'm afraid. But a mix between Aussie/Scottish would be sweet to master
Visitors to Oz will need an Oz Translation Dictionary of "Strine" (Australian) called "Nose Tone Unturned" by Affabeck Lauder (Alphabetical Order). You may find one in old book shops as the Government of the Day banned them some years ago as being 'racist'. Some translations: Good-day, how are you going?: "G'dye. Ars yus garn"? Not bad: "Noppaird"! It is your turn to buy the drinks: "Shore shout, mite"! Because God Made You Mine (popular song at weddings etc): "Big 'orse Guard Major mine"! I am telling the truth: "Bladdy oath mite"! or "'kin oath mite"! You look absolutely beautiful and I would like to make love with you: "Fancyabit darl"! And finally, I have never, in my 44 years in Oz, ever quite understood the Oz answer to any question they are asked: "Yer, no"! What anyone is to deduce from that I have never figured out.
I just assumed the Aussie reply was "you know"? As for accents, I don't mind hearing a Lancashire twang. Liverpool women sound like drag queens and tend to be deeper than the high pitched scouse male for some peculiar reason. A French accent on a woman has to take some beating for sexy, but Somerset sounds good for raunchy. Northumbrian women sound nice and homely. Welsh on a woman's okay in small doses.
Female, Northern Irish. Febbos how dare you not know what Cumbria is haha. I am fortunate enough to not have a Cumbrian accent or any real accent for that matter, its just a northern one I have been told. I have lived all over the country over the past twenty years, Cumbria just seems to have been where my family have settled for the last 5 years. Mrs Blue Mountains Bear- where in Cumbria is your accent from then? Im living in West Cumbria.
