That was another one it asked, if farm and palm rhyme. I didn't realise there were people who said them the same way.

You've clearly never watched Shetland.

They sound like charm and damn respectively to me. How are you saying them? Farm and parm or fahm and pahm? I can't quite figure it out.

Interesting that just for seeing how much you changed as you assimilated into a different area.
I was born and brought up in Lancashire/Manchester but only spent my first 21 years there. I've been in the North East for 40 odd years, married to a Geordie and raising 3 Geordie kids and 4 Geordie grandchildren. So, how much of my speech, pronunciation, slang words etc been influenced by my 40 years in the North East as opposed to my 20 in Lancashire?
Very little it seems as that pinpointed me bang on to Manchester/Lancashire so maybe we do stick to our roots after all.

Managed to write ‘scratter’ in one of the optional boxes.
Let’s see if it places my dialect as ‘On the SMB’.
The put is almost like ’poot’?
