I've got many of these types of things myself, having moved around quite a lot there are regular occasions where I say something and everyone in the room stops and looks at me like I've grown an extra head. But I've now started forgetting where certain things are from and it's only going to get worse! <br /><br />Some of my favourites are:<br /><br />In Wolverhampton they don't say "are" they say "am". So instead of saying "Where are you?" you say "Where am you?" <br /><br />In Hull they don't say "til" they say "while". So instead of I work "9 til 5" you work "9 while 5". Still makes me giggle now.<br /><br />I've also managed to convert Rich into saying some northern things too, such as dead for very. I love accents and regional sayings, they always make me laugh so much!<br /><br />Rachel x<br /><a href="http://www.theinelegantwench.com" rel="nofollow">The Inelegant Wench</a>Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415817608835099328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505716782309030758.post-74226595270028669342016-05-13T21:05:54.582+01:002016-05-13T21:05:54.582+01:00Mint = good!

My dad and I were born in Durham and my dad worked a lot in Newcastle, so he picked up a lot, had a 'twang', but we moved away when I was 4 and hated it, as I wanted to speak like him. He bought me books to read and a little mini geordie dictionary(which I believe was from a stall in the Metro!) and I used to practice ad practice. :) <br />The North East is definitely home to me. <br /><br />Caroline.x<br />www.notesfromcaroline.comCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03007296783721236903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505716782309030758.post-18793604135093520762016-05-09T20:15:43.557+01:002016-05-09T20:15:43.557+01:00Love this haha, it's all my dialect.
