-I don't think I've ever met a more passionate Northerner in my life
Same
You're putting me to shame
I love the North even though I will never move back there
People taking the piss out of your accent
Ohhhh!
All the time
Every day
All the time
I'll be like "water" and they'll go "wahr!"
I don't sound like "wahr"
"face" and "goat"
Yep!
Bath!
I quite like it when people try to fight me that "b-ar-th" is the right way to say it, because how can it be? because it's an 'a'
No! There's no 'r' in the middle of it
If I say things like "No" they'll be like "No-eh"
And I'm like "that is not what I said" Yeah!
Yeah I'll go like "No" and they'll no "No-ehhh!
All week and it was like "No-ehhh!" "You alright love!?"
"No-ehhh!!!"
and I'm like "just shutup!, just shutup!" "You're not even doing it correctly!"
You know how they say like in America the English accent is an aphrodisiac?
Mmm
I feel like down here the Northern accent is not.
*Gasp*
The tea/dinner debate
You see, I'm quite Southern on this..
Oh don't!
Oh stop it!
This is going to go really bad isn't it? But I say "Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner"
Oh you don't!!!!!!!
What do you say?
Teatime!
Teatime?
It's teatime!
That's it?
It's Breakfast, dinner, tea. But do you have supper though? Yeah.
But supper..to posh Southerners means "dinner" as an evening meal, where to me, supper's like if you have a crumpet at about 9 o'clock.
Dinner time at school.
Dinner time at 1 o'clock you went for your "dinner" not your "lunch"
You had dinner ladies
Exactly!
Dinner lady!
I feel like dinner here is some just like event where people just sit around a table and they're like "Would you like some more wine, darling??"
And I'm just like "No, where's me twizzlers??"
Midlanders.... thinking that they are Northerners.. They're not. Not okay. They're not.
"Oh I'm Northern!" "Ah no way, yeah me too, I'm from Middlesborough, where you from??"
"Birmingham."
You're not Northern.
Like "Oh we're stingy Northerners!"
I was like "oh I know what you mean, blah blah"
I was like "where abouts are you from?"
Lester.
Ooh
Lester?!
I think some people not to identify as Northern.
No way
I think they'd be more Southern!
Well I agree!
Well then it's kind of like a compliment to us, isn't it? That people want to be from the North.
The fact is...
It's called the MID-lands..because it's in the middle.
People at home thinking you sound 'posh'
Oh every single time!
Up there it's like "oh you sound posher" Down there it's like "Oh have you been home again?!"
My Mum calls me a ponce
My Mum's always saying that I say "No" differently now because I don't say "No" as broad as I used to do
I wish I hadn't gone..
You could bring it back..
and I will
(scouse) We'll start talking like that all the time...Like what how we used to talk.. Oh god!
Bringing a coat on a night out. No.
Never
I'm used to going out in tiny, little hot-pants, a little vest and not much else
"- Are you not going to be cold?" No love!..I don't care if it's snowing outside, I'm going!!
But like, down here I've realised that I- actually I said I don't, but I do like, like a little suit jacket or something like that once in a while
It's like coming down here and everyone's in the duffle coats, they've got umbrellas, bags with flat shoes in them, and I'm like "what are you playing at?"
I hope my dad doesn't see this...He'll be ashamed that I've just admitted that I get to take my jacket out on a night out
Let's not wear a coat!
Let's veto! Coats are veto'd. That's it
I hate you coats!
Ah! People thinking you're weird if you're friendly!
They do!
They do yeah
They do.
Like their automatic, first thought is that you're crazy
"Sorry, sorry mate, is that book any good?"
and he looked like - he turned 'round and it looked like I'd just gone "Mate do you mind if I just, uh, tickle your balls while I'm there"
Walking down the street, knocking on your neighbours door, "oh have you got a bit of milk?", it's fine.
You don't even know your neighbors?
yeah
I don't know my neighbor.
I don't.
Oh actually I do..She said I was too noisy, she doesn't speak to us now..
You need a bit of Yorkshire charm in a life
Yeah exactly, what's wrong with ya?
____ country come too you..Hello!
Very true
Everything is - Well fucking expensive - expensive
Go up to Leeds, you can go out with 25 quid, you get your taxi, you're paralytic, you're home and you got your take-away.
London, you need 50 quid just to get there.
And it was triple vodka redbull for, erm, it was either a pound or pound-fifty.
Meeting other Northerners
I love meeting other Northerners!
As soon as you hear an accent you just like - it's like magnetised
Followed a girl 'round Oxford Street Topshop 'cause she walked in and I thought..'She's definitely Scouse'.
Running over to see Do you want a drink??? Here come talk to me for an hour!!
Where are you from? You're from Leeds?! Oh my god, where abouts? Who do you know? What school did ya' go to- Let's get on Facebook, we've got mutual friends!
It's easy
I know - of course it is
So easy
- you feel at home don't ya'?
Yeah. You just get on.
Oh I'm glad I've met another Northerner!
Same! Exactly!
