10 Trenches Deep

Haven't lived in the NE since I was 21. Down here in Bristol, my accent is pretty neutral. However, once I get north of Scotch Corner, I start to go native, especially once I start talking to people. Mrs G once said my accent came back within 30 seconds of starting a phone call with my late mother.


My DIL says my sons accent becomes more northern on the train as it travels up here from King’s Cross 😍
 

I cant wait to see/hear the mags equivalent fan.
I would love to see the utter confusion of there was one. Imagine the cogs whirring if they saw one of their own fans speaking about them without it being polemic.

That's the same as me. Everybody from here knows I'm not from here. Everybody south can tell I've lived a long time elsewhere, but once I've had a drink my accent reverted fast.
