Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

There are two distinct Liverpool accents. Don't know if it's North/South or what. There's the cewk and bewk accent or the cukk and bukk accent. I am in the latter camp. You can always spot a Scouser as soon as they say the word work. It always comes out as werrkk. No matter how mild the accent or how long they have been away. My biggest difficulty was saying shared services, especially when dealing with HR. It either came out as shaaired sairvices or shurred surrvices.

Thanks for sherring that with us Anj

It's quite clean now. by comparison. You see sand when the tide is out.

Favourite childhood hobby. Watching the Mersey goldfish and used condoms float down the river at Otterspool prom. It is so much cleaner now. I'm sure there were dolphins spotted in the river at Otterspool last year.

A whale was stranded up by Runcorn a couple of years ago too.

Just been for the third jab and they said it is possible that some will get a fourth but only those with immune deficiency or drugs that cause it . Gladly none of mine or the wife's problems .

Well done to you and Mrs B. We got our 3rd a month ago, no side effects

The thing that I noticed about the lovely Liverpool accent when I first moved up was a tendency for "posher " scousers to over pronounce the ing at the end of words.

You should have said you're from Sefton. They'll think you're posh lol

Like Bootle?

Like Bootle?

That's the point Tommye. People who aren't from round here wouldn't know Bootle was in Sefton.

Like Bootle?

My late dad insisted it was the poshest place around and a very I left centre of western culture!!!
Maybe I misunderstood him and he meant it was full of cowboys!!!!

Since you laughed, in a good way , at my post to clarify particularly years ago lots of people on the outskirts of Liverpool, places that weren’t Liverpool used to fake some ridiculous faux Scouse accent. I found it more than one out of town , or on holiday that these people some how would be ‘pretending ‘ to be from Liverpool . I’ve genuinely no idea why , I can only assume it had a reputation they wanted to court but it was very very odd. I can’t have been the only person to have encountered it .

My laugh was definitely in a good way, Harry. I just found the way you wrote it amusing but I appreciate the clarification and I agree that it must be the reputation of being a scouse that may prompt people to pretend to have that accent. I used to have a Latin friend who after learning English she made sure she sounded like an American and got rid off her Latin accent because she didn't want to be associated as an immigrant. So people have many reasons to pretend an accent. I still have my Latin accent even after years of living in the US and I like it.
