Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Harryflashman]

You have given me a lifeline here. So you reckon she didn’t grow up there??

?

I’m not going back to ask her like.

lol

to be fair I think the accent various across the county , so it depends where you from . I know a couple from up by Whitehaven and they’re a bit more Geordie ‘ish’ .

 

[Harryflashman]

Depends on the part of Cumbria mate. If it's north of the county it's more geordie if it's south of the county - where I live - then we used to be in Lancs so our accent is more Preston/Burnley/Blackpool sounding.

Beat me to it whilst I was typing

These words are very soothing. My self respect may yet recover from this episode.

And if you go east of the county, over the M6, the accent is public school posh as balls.

@messymascot you will be disappointed to hear that I miscalled a lady’s Cumbrian accent as Manchester/Bolton just now in a bar.

She very kindly told me Bolton is only an hour and a half away.

I shouldn’t be allowed out.

I always find the Cumbrian has more of hint a Geordie . It when I have to identify the various Manchester /Lancashire accents I have been known to lose my way a little .

@messymascot hope you’ve had a good day today, especially given your ‘driver ‘ .

When I'm away I quite often get asked if I'm a Geordie or a Mackem. The Bolton one is a bit surprising. I work in a call centre and I can pick a Cumbrian accent right away. It isn't just how they sound its the way they talk as Cumbrians have a very deliberate way of talking.

I had her on the cobbled streets of Coronation street or it’s suburbs. I haven’t travelled England to be fair, Blackpool as a kid, London for work in and out. I know Liverpool well but that’s it.

My knowledge of English accents is based on footballers and TV. Would have bet money on her.

Small world Messy!

Evening, Karl. How did your date with your mates go? Are you still in one piece after your friend took you for a spin?

Evening went great. We could only have little spin as car park was full. It was a little scary at one point because we went very close to the curb edge. Now back home in one piece hoping for a quiet evening. Maybe have some chat about my beloved Everton then sleep and keep the routine going.

You got any plans for your afternoon?

Yay for a great evening, you deserve them! You are certainly so brave letting your friend take you for a ride, good thing nothing happened to you except for a scare.

A quiet evening with a few chats about Everton sound perfect. I have no many plans for this afternoon, my daughter has a cold so took her to the doctor’s just a bit ago to ensure it wasn’t covid. Now waiting for the results so we are just hanging around the house. I probably be prepping some food, I have cravings for a seafood paella so I’m going to make one for the first time tomorrow.

How is your appetite this week? Having some soups still?

My appetite is very poor this week but hopefully I'll get it back soon.

Sounds like you have a bit going on in your life at the moment. Hope your daughter makes a full recovery and soon.

You will have to put photos of paella in here and tell us what it tasted like.

Enjoy your evening, might bump into you in another thread!

Oh no, that’s unfortunate but hopefully it improves in the coming days.

Life could be much worse so I can’t complain. My daughter is enjoying that she hasn’t had to go to school in two days and she really doesn’t look too bad so I’m pretty sure it is just a cold but we just want to be safe.

I definitely post some pics unless it comes out terribly.

If I bump into you I promise that I will take it easy on you, just because I love ya. Xx

I want pictures even if its terrible.

Ha ha. If we disagree on a point so be it. I certainly won't be falling out over it.

Okay, it is a promise.

I think we would agree to disagree, there is never falling out over it. I rather concur with you than ever putting at risk our friendship. You are too valuable to let you go that easily.

No they are from the opposite coast.
