KKOB Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Nice way to go in the opposite way of the topic direction. [state your city stereotype not bash people for stereotypes] Couldn't hold it in, plus villan put the point forward for brum.
Blackfox Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 I own a cotton mill, and I have a gun. Yes, stolen from Partridge..
thirtynine. Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 @thirtynine- I live in the borough of Bromley, off the outskirts of south London. Where do you live? I agree with you on the 'robbing' part. I'm not mixed race, but all you have to do is put some gel in your hair, and old ladies especially, keep their distance. Which is always good. @Chris the great I never noticed that we pronounced grass like that! Yeah, call it a draw. Clapham. Real London :P
conzer16 Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 actually - i would have u know - my accent rules the lot What type of Northern accent do you have? Is it like the harsh Belfast one? Or like the soft Donegal one? I have a Wexford accent which is a great boggar accent!
thirtynine. Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Proud to be a Londoner personally. We rock Totally The thing is people outside of london dont realise that it is the best thing in the universe. And the center of all of britan.
My Buttons are Magic! Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 What type of Northern accent do you have? Is it like the harsh Belfast one? Or like the soft Donegal one? I have a Wexford accent which is a great boggar accent! im not quite sure.. its not like the belfast accent ( i surely hope not) i like to call it the ballymena lilt but u cant really know unless u hear it
Chris the great Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 ive got a mate from southhampton who dosen't class london as south. ive called him a pretentious wanker more then once. blindly conservative. easy to beat in debates. gotta say, alot of girls like geordie accents, there not bad, but not every one in newcastle in nails and straight out the coal mines.
Ginger_Chris Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I live in Scunthorpe, its between Hull and Doncaster and has a reputation as being a chavey hole of a town. To some extent its true, but it really annoys me when people (especially londoner's) think their town is better, and have the stereotype that I'm instantly scum. To me the difference is that in Scunthorpe, I can have a friendly chat with someone in a shopping queue, talk to old people at the bus stop, or ask directions from anyone. I once said hello to someone on the tube and three people moved carriages because they thought I was crazy. Yes London has a lot more going on, but I'd rather live in a dump of a town where you can smile at your neighbour and not get committed.
Ant-Shimmin Posted August 6, 2007 Author Posted August 6, 2007 Alot of Girls get turned on by the scouse accent. I'll have you know In all seriousness I don't have a very broad accent, granted you can tell I'm scouse but it's not broad and infact it's more of a deep one.
UK Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I hate lodoners most of the type-the stereotypical ones-who judge everything geographically in its relation to london. If they had their way about 80% of the UK would be called 'the north'. And of course they're not southerners are they? nooo, london is the centre of the universe. fucking ass wipes. Yeah, but London is the biggest, richest, most famous and best city in the UK. Manchester, on the other hand, is a bigger, richer, better version of Liverpool. What has Manchester got? 'Ohhh, there's a canal, oh and a pretty little skyscraper.' And you're near Blackpool, so ftl. @conzer16- It seems when you live in Dublin, you can't win.
Roostophe Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Yeah, but London is the biggest, richest, most famous and best city in the UK.

ipaul Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I live in Newcastle, but my accent is hardly geordie. I Don't have one so much as....well English =P (or Nothern English). I find Tynemouth to be generally a very nice area, but North Shields (for the most part) is much worse. Get charvs here like anywhere else really. I like where I live, but I think I would prefer to live in a rural area.
Dan_Dare Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I own a cotton mill, and I have a gun. got nothin on me. I eat steel out of a flat cap
Chris the great Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 north sheilds is weird, south sheilds is fine. except the chavs., and layget.
Goron_3 Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 It annoys me when people say Milton Keynes is full of scene kids and chavs. It is, but still... And omg don't even get me started on the 'emo tree'...it's a terrible site.
UK Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Takeo is a Brummie, he's not from Manchester, just living up there. I dare you to insult Birmingham, go on, see what happens... Nah, my mom comes from there, so I best not.
