  1. No such thing as "proper". The english language has always evolved from day one and will continue to do so long after weve all departed.

    The manner in which people deal with change on the other hand always appears to regress, which is a shame because its the only constant etc etc,,,.

  2. Many radio presenters (DJs) are the same...init.
     
  3. I like a well spoken person, can't bear lack of basic manners though. Not difficult to say please and thank you is it.

    On a side note , I heard someone describe a bloke under pressure from Dibble -

    " He were sweatin' like a Geordie in a spellin' test "

  6. I’m from Yorkshire, I feel sorry for all the people that can’t speak proper like what we do.

  7. True indeed .
    In Shakespeare's time , the idea of "correct" spelling did not really exist .

    With a word like "disappears" you could put as many S or Ps in as you fancied .

  12. Love colloquialisms and local dialect. Find it fascinating. And you haven’t lived until you’ve been called a bawbag by a Scotsman :)
     
  13. I have to admit that the longer I am away from the UK, the more proud I become to be a Geordie! ;)

  14. I'm pretty good with most accents, but the only one I really struggled with was a bloke from Glasgow, his accent was so broad he needed subtitles, he'd be talking away and I'd be nodding and saying "yes Bob, yes Bob" next minute he'd be in orbit shouting "whitde ye mean yes Bob, yer no f#ckin listening!" ;-)
     
  15. What’s the difference between a kangaroo and a kangaroot?

    Ones an Australian marsupial and the other’s a geordie stuck in a lift…
