Regional accents are lovely.

And on a lighter note:-

Sir John Cheke (16 June 1514 – 13 September 1557) was an English classical scholar who wrote: ‘I am of this opinion that our own tung should be written cleane and pure, unmixt and unmangeled with borowing of other tunges; wherein if we take not heed by tiim, ever borowing and never paying, she shall be fain to keep her house as bankrupt‘.

If English was your second language you might not understand anybody with a regional accent.

In Namibia OH had to interpret what I was saying for them.

This could be because I talk gibberish but I prefer to think it is because I am a swede basher.

That's crazy.

If people visit another part of the world, they have to accept the way people talk.

Are people in Glasgow going to be asked to stop talking "Glaswegian" when the Commonwealth games are on?

Yorkshire people are very friendly

When I go to another part of the world/country..........I like to learn 'their' way of life

I'm not broad Yorkshire, I lived in other places......BUT, I love the Yorkshire accent

So :-P
