Find Ancestors

I'm a Celebrity get me out of here has not got any Aussies in it, just filmed there Grace so you are ok.

Now we all know you talk like that, while you are drinking a Tinnie at your Barbie.

Just like us cockeneys who sound like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins

I think they should bring back Skippy :-D

ja...x

or us Canadians who live in igloos and go everywhere by dog sled :-D

So it was you, Persie, who moved in the fridge

I wondered where it had come from

........ I went in there in the dark the other night to make sure there were enough stores stashed away, and stubbed my toe on it


OUCH!








thank you for putting it in there. We'll be able to keep Dea and lainie happy :-D

oh Gawd, toe physio now...

I made enuff noise wunder you didn't all hear me...

probably thought it was Dea's stomach rumbling... :-)

how did you guess? :-)

LOL oh no Skippy....it is funny how British we sound when you look at the tv or listen to the radio from years ago, people used to speak ever so proper..now it's all slang, text talk or f this or that!

Do you have different accents in Oz ? There are so many over here.

Not so noticable in the south East they all sound like a London accent to me.
Liverpool and Manchester are only 20/30 miles apart and they have very strong different accents.

HID is from Liverpool but he has lived in so many different places he does'nt really have any accent but you can tell he is not from Essex
:-D

I think I can tell the difference between an Oz and NZ accent...the NZ tends to go higher at the end of each word ? and they are not wearing hats with corks hanging off it
:-D

You might be able to tell Jax, but when we are in Oz we are not picked as Kiwis.... we blend in very well and when we tell them they ask us to say fish and chips and then are surprised that we don't say fush and chups.

We can tell a fair dinkum Orstralian when they are here... There are so many of us over in OZ now ... probably put the crime rate up somewhat.

My OH is very good on picking the various British accents... he worked as a truckie all over Britain on his OE.

Per... s xx

By the way my pages are reading as 1551- 1556 at the moment and the circles have elongated and resemble capsules .. the numbers started getting accommodated after I mentioned that they were too long for the circles on here the other day... so they are watching me ... what do ya reckon?

Pxx

I watch a lot of these airport programs about passport control or traffic cops.

There was one last night about NZ in Auckland actually and was surprised your road signs looked very much like ours green and blue

ja...x

Mine are still square when I do post date numbers 1 - 10 but oblong when the full numbers appear after I have posted

ja...x

Mine are rectangular or oblong, whichever we decided they were the other day!

I can tell the difference between an Aussie and a Kiwi ................ but I can't tell where each might come from within their country.



The majority of Canadians now basically have a non-accent to me ............... except that I can tell Maritimers, and of course Newfies have a very characteristic acent.

It seems to me, after so long away, that everyone in the UK has an accent .... even the announcers on BBC World are not quite as non-accent as they used to be!





and anyone from Britain can recognise my Lancashire accent :-D

Now what is Lancashire is it Mancunian or scouse or something different?

When I got offered a job working in west sussex I expected them to sound posh...they sounded more Essex than I do :-D

Ah now


I come from about 9 miles northeast of Manchester .............. and we despised the Mancunian accent!


Oldham had its own accent.


I then went to Liverpool ......... where the scouse accent used to be described as being Irish blown backwards through the Mersey Tunnel


Then I taught in Cheshire



both the last two modified my accent a little



There is enough there though that people can place me in Lancashire
